yes, but it doesn't *need* to be in in a separate file. i prefer to define the big hashref of filters, dependencies and constraints right there in the same module file... > ...

However, I am still wondering if > CGI::Application people are using any other interesting modules for this > purpose? i like it too. i just used it for the first time in a CGI::App, and it worked out well. i guess i previously fell into the category of "hacker using homegrown ad-hoc solution" :-) in fact i was toying with the idea of publishing my own validation code as a module, which actually used a big hashref of rules fairly similar to DF:V's input_profile specification, but when i found D::FV, i decided to try using it instead and am pretty happy with it so far. so you can put me down me as using D::FV, and not knowing of any other documented (tested) packages for this particular purpose. -dave --------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/cgiapp@lists.vm.com/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
