Although this is an initial load scenario, data validation will eventually need to be performed from the browser. It might be advisable to move such code upward from Perl in the direction of Javascript at some point, but moving it downward into the database is going in the wrong direction, creating not only unnecessary internet communication but unnecessary communication between application and DBMS. Ideally, data should be cleaned before it gets to the database. One popular late 90s solution in market data warehousing was to use a special language called Formula Engine to clean data based on a C++ library before it is inserted in a hybrid database (SQL/TSDBMS). But in today's paradigm, the functionality is destined eventually to move to the GUI so that the data is clean before it even hits the server.
