Moose throwing error with some data which doesn't match the 'Object' constraint, what should I do?

LittleJack has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I don't have a ton of experience with Moose. Say I've got a sub/method called 'foo'. Up at the top of the relevant module is this:


validate_subs (
        foo => {
                params => {
                        user => [Object, 1],
                        bar=> [Str, 1],
                        baz=> [Str, 1],

                }
        },
[download]

and when that sub/method runs, I get this error:


encountered object 'Reference {"key" => "value","otherkey" => "otherva
+lue","email...} did not pass type constraint "Object" (in $_{"user"})
[download]

At the point where the sub/method is supposed to return some data.

So what are my next steps? That looks to me like a logical perl object, except for the bare string 'Reference' at the start.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Moose doesn't provide `validate_subs`. I can't even find any MooseX package providing it. I only see it in MooX::ValidateSubs. Is that what you're using? `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
