Re: Re: Data format verification for insertion into a database

For instance: make certain that a date is in the proper sequence, make certain that something which is supposed to be an integer is most certainly an integer, etc. There are also other checks such as proper e-mail address formatting that I would like to see rolled up into one friendly module (outside of Email::Valid so I don't have to import 500 modules to know that my data is properly formatted). Hmmm..

There are also other checks such as proper e-mail address formatting that I would like to see rolled up into one friendly module ... As of yet, there is no such friendly module, at least as far as I know (though perhaps someone else knows better). You'll need to build up the verification you need from individual pieces.	[reply]
