So I went ahead and released ::ValidateRM under the ::Plugin::ValidateRM
name space.
On the heels of that, I developed another plugin for easier management
of DBI database handles. I think it's worth using for nearly all database
applications with CGI::App because:
- It's dead simple to use.
- It uses lazy loading, which means a database connection is never actually
made if you don't use the handle. This means you configure a database
connection globally in a superclass, and not worry about the overhead
for run modes that don't use it.
I just thought of a update I should make for the next version: I should
credit Cees, whose CGI::Application::Session cod inspired my work on
this.

SYNOPSIS
use CGI::Application::Plugin::DBH (qw/dbh_config dbh/);
sub cgiapp_init {
my $self = shift;
# use the same args as DBI->connect();
$self->dbh_config($data_source, $username, $auth, \%attr);
}
sub my_run_mode {
my $self = shift;
my $date = $self->dbh->selectrow_array("SELECT CURRENT_DATE");
# OR ...
my $dbh = $self->dbh;
my $date = $dbh->selectrow_array("SELECT CURRENT_DATE");
}
DESCRIPTION
CGI::Application::Plugin::DBH adds easy access to a DBI database handle
to your CGI::Application modules. Lazy loading is used to prevent a
database connection from being made if the "dbh" method is not called
during the request. In other words, the database connection is not
created until it is actually needed.
