I had used Data::FormValidator with CGI::Prototype and was thoroughly happy
with it.

Since I'm now doing a project with cgiapp, I ripped down
C::A::P::DataFormValidator and and am pleased to death with it. It does so
much heavy lifting... it validates the form and then if there are errors, it
returns you to a certain page and you can get the errors _AND_ it fills in
the form using HTML::FillInForm.

One plugin, saved me tons of work! Thank you Mark Stosberg and the cgiapp
community!!!
