[cgiapp] Form validation "best practices"

[Joshua Miller]

I'm currently addicted to Data::FormValidator. If you use stick to
regexp validation (or at least have some), then it ties in easily with
Data.FormValidator.js, allowing additional frontend javascript
validation without having to write a separate validation profile or
routine.

The Data.FormValidator.js has one big limitation - it doesn't support
subroutine references as a validation call, or the built in check
types (like 'email'). That said, you can still include those in your
profile, and they'll be used on the backend, and ignored on the
frontend, so mix-n-matching works out well to provide basic user
friendly validation prior to get/post.

Lots of options though,
