I see a few options:
1. Why not simply use a Str type instead of Int, if you're not absolutely sure
that the provided value is an Int? Then you'd be able to see the value
that was passed in, even if it wasn't a number.
2. Define a Str-to-Int coercion that selected an appropriate default if
the value provided wasn't an int. You could also log a warning whenever
the coercion is run, to catch these issues in testing.
3. Alternatively, you could wrap your calls to setters and constructors with a
try/catch block using your exception handling package of choice (I
recommend Try::Tiny). You'd have to examine the stack trace you get back to
see what type of problem occured, and then replace the bad value with a
better one. MooseX::Constructor::AllErrors can make this easier, but
that's a Moose, not Mouse, solution.
Given the context you've provided, I'd lean towards #2.
