Hey,

I just started using this module (Data::Formvalidator) to carry out my form validation. For those experienced using this, have you ever validated a phone number that had three input fields? - -

I looked in the Data::FormValidator::Contraints referrence page and all I came up to try was this: 

 require_some => {
    # require any two fields from this group
    city_or_state_or_zipcode => [ 2, qw/city state zipcode/ ], 
 }
So I tried doing:
 require_some => {
    # require any two fields from this group
    american_phone => [ 2, qw/p1 p2 p3/ ], #the input field names are 
+p1 p2 p3, american_phone is the constraint name.
 }

[download]
I've also tried this the reversed way where constraint, american_phone is the key.

Inside the form profile, I tried placing this code inside the constraint hash, a separate hash, and inside the required hash.

Any help is appreciated. If there is no other way to do this, I might just try making a custom constraint and verifying each input filed, p1 p2 p3.

Thanks,
Anthony
