Data::Validate::Struct - Validate recursive Hash Structures

SYNOPSIS

 use Data::Validate::Struct;
 my $validator = new Data::Validate::Struct($reference);
 if ( $validator->validate($config_hash_reference) ) {
   print "valid\n";
 }
 else {
   print "invalid " . $validator->errstr() . "\n";
 }

DESCRIPTION

This module validates a config hash reference against a given hash structure in contrast to Data::Validate in which you have to check each value separately using certain methods.

This hash could be the result of a config parser or just any hash structure. Eg. the hash returned by XML::Simple could be validated using this module. You may also use it to validate CGI input, just fetch the input data from CGI, map it to a hash and validate it.

Data::Validate::Struct uses some of the methods exported by Data::Validate, so you need to install it too.
