Re^2: Data::FormValidator, Not

Of course, you can skip the temporary variable using

my ($valids, $missings, $invalids, $unknowns) =
   Data::FormValidator->validate( scalar($q->Vars), $profile);

Do those couple extra characters warrant a patch? Shrug.. Well, YMMV. Update: it obviously does - something new learned for the day.

Although eliminating the temporary variable would work for the simplest case, Data::FormValidator does more than just validate data; it also applies filters to the data. Without the temporary variable, you're throwing away your filtered data. Therefore, the need for the patch: to filter the CGI object data directly, rather than in a separate data structure. :-) Impossible Robot	[reply]
