DESCRIPTION

       Validation::Class::Directive::Options is a core validation class field directive that
       holds an enumerated list of values to be validated against the associated parameters.

       •       alternative argument: an-array-of-user-defined-options

               This directive can be passed a single value or an array of values:

                   fields => {
                       user_role => {
                           options => ['Client', 'Employee', 'Administrator']
                       }
                   }

                   # the following examples are useful for plugins (and other code)
                   # that may want to otherwise identify option values

                   fields => {
                       user_role => {
                           options => [
                               '1|Client',
                               '2|Employee',
                               '3|Administrator'
                           ]
                       }
                   }

                   # please note:
                   # declaring options as "keyed-options" will cause the validation of
                   # the option's key and NOT the option's value

                   fields => {
                       user_role => {
                           options => [
                               [ 1 => 'Client' ],
                               [ 2 => 'Employee' ],
                               [ 3 => 'Administrator' ]
                           ]
                       }
                   }
