Subject: Ugly failure message for reference type parameters
A reference type parameter like type => ARRAYREF gives an error message like The 'foo' parameter (\"ARRAY(0x817ca38)\") to action did not pass the 'array' callback

Omitting (\"ARRAY(0xXXX)\"). Actually I'd like to return the messages to the interface user, so personally I would prefer even lesser technical messages - something without "'array' callback" in this case, or no "did not pass regex check" elsewhere. A general "did not pass the parameter specification" is sufficiant to make the user RTFM. Bernhard

You could use the Moose type constraint system with MooseX::Params::Validate (or wait for me to release a production-ready Type distro). Both of these allow you to provide an error message generator with a type. -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/

I'm no longer going to make any non-bugfix changes to P::V so I'm closing old wishlist tickets.
