           sub validate {

               my $self = shift;

               my ($proto, $field, $param) = @_;

               if (defined $field->{check_blacklist} && $param) {

                   # is the parameter value blacklisted?
                   my @blacklist = read_file('/blacklist.txt');

                   $self->error if grep { $param =~ /^$_$/ } @blacklist;

               }

           }

           1;

       ... in your validation class:

           package MyApp::Person;

           use Validation::Class;

           field ip_address => {
               required        => 1,
               check_blacklist => 1
           };

           1;

       ... in your application:

           package main;

           use MyApp::Person;

           my $person = MyApp::Person->new(ip_address => '0.0.0.0');

           unless ($person->validates('ip_address')) {
               # handle validation error
           }

DESCRIPTION

       You can extend Validation::Class by creating your own validation rules (directives).
       Validation::Class::Directive provides a base-class for you to use when creating new
       directive classes. Please see Validation::Class::Directives for a complete list of core
       directives.
