ted.byers:

Have you looked at the tests for the module? You can use the test "t/multiple_constraints.t" as an example and build on it to find out how to use multiple constraints.

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

I had not, but now I have. Here is the example there:

my %data = (
  multiple => 'to fail',
  #multiple => [qw{this multi-value input will fail on the constraint 
+below}],
  single   => 'to pass',
);

my %profile = (
  required => [qw/
    multiple
    single 
    /],
  constraints => {
      multiple => [
        { name => 'constraint_1', constraint => qr/\w/ }, # pass
        { name => 'constraint_2', constraint => qr/\d/ }, # force fail
+ 
      ],
  },
);


my $results = Data::FormValidator->check(\%data, \%profile);

The only difference, apart from using a regular expression, I see there is that they have the field name where the example from the documentation, and I, have a dummy nme, and where I, and the documentation, have the filed name as the first value in the array, the test does not. But, When I modify my code to resemble the code in that test, I still get the same error.

This is so frustrating.

Thanks
