Data validation

Hi All,

I have been at this for a couple of days and could really use some
help. I have been trying to validate some data. I opted for a module
called Data::Domain by Dami Laurent. I have emailed him but he's
server is not collecting (which is odd because I have seen him on
other lists).


My problem is that, under the "concept" key, the string data should
contain at least one entry; history, space, environment...etc

A created a test script with 2 records, one with concepts=>
['flowers', 'environment'], and the other with a single item
['environment']. This last one fails. I have been trying combinations
of Enum, List and One_off method to try and achieve my aims but I can
configure the Struct that fits.

If anyone can spot what I am doing wrong or worse case, suggest a
completely different validation framework, please let me know.
TIA,
Dp.
