Shouldn't this simple example pass validation?

Posted on 2008-06-27 14:31:03-07 by milpitian

use Params::Validate; sub foo { validate_pos ( @_, { type => SCALAR }); print $_[0]; } &foo ('hello'); [~] perl valid.pl Parameter #1 ("hello") has a type specification which is not a number. It is a string - SCALAR. Use the constants exported by Params::Validate to declare types. at valid.pl line 5 main::foo('hello') called at valid.pl line 9

Re: Shouldn't this simple example pass validation?

SCALAR isn't exported by default. Use the following "use" statement instead:

use Params::Validate qw(:all);
