I would do this using Javascript in the form.
The advantage of this is the form data is validated without the client
having to return the form to the server, which then would have to validate
and return the the client the errors. With JS you can do it all client-side
and only allow the form to be submitted once it's passed validation.

Subject: CGI.pm and form validation
I've created a CGI program that asks a user to fill in a number of fields.
I would like to validate that the required data is present and in correct
format.
A date, time, phone number, Ip Address etc.
Obviously I could code a number of regex's, but I was wondering if there was
a module or script
that I could use along with CGI.pm.
Any Suggestions ?
Regards,
JimBob
