I think you are missing his point.  He wants to instantiate an object from
the form, but if he uses his Moose object then the things he wants to
validate (errors) will prevent him from getting an instance of his class.
 If "name" is required or isa 'Str' then if it gets an arrayref, he can't
use the object (as either it missing or being the wrong type throws an
exception).

I don't know if this is a good idea yet, but it's fairly easy to create a
"proxy" object for a given class, less all the validation:

YMMV, but it would do what you want, as you could "promote" it to a real
value iteratively after validation...
