Using CC::FormBuilder and a CGI::FormBuilder::Source::File .fb config
file. The documentation for C::F::S::F suggest it is possible to use a
reference to a sub-routine for config variables, eg:
state:
options: \&getstates
sortopts: \&sortstates
but where would the getstates() & sortstates() methods go - presumably
in the controller that called the formbuilder method?
But what I really want to do is the related use of a method in a
validation step, and cannot get it to work from the .fb file this way:
my_field:
validate: \&my_validation_routine
so I overloaded the field definition in the controller, like this:
$form->field(
name => 'my_field',
validate => my_validation_routine( $c->req->param('foo') ),
);
Firstly it seems a bit of an ugly fix, and secondly it seems
counter-intuitive as the validation_routine() needs to return undef if
the field validates, as returning a defined value like 1 or 'ok' or even
0 triggers the 'failed validation' flag in the $form object. Presumably
this is a consequence of FormBuilder expecting a regex here?
