in reply to A validate rm, question

Is there a way to use check rm to see if the entries match an existing entry in a database?
Your question is highly misleading. Steaming slightly in the summer heat, my thoughts condensed immediately into a big question sign, as rm is the UNIX binary to remove files, which doesn't check for database records by default. Further reading suggested that you might have meant check_rm instead (s/ /_/), a method which doesn't appear neither as source in the code you posted, nor in the package your provided link leads to.

As for the answer - I guess, yes, it can be done, maybe a check before SuperClan::Database::User_Auth->create() would be handy, in the register_process method of SuperClan::Application::User_Auth.

But how can I know? Aren't the packages by "Super Clan © 2006 B Carlyon Web Development 2006", i.e. by yourself? Then you are the one who possibly knows best how and where to hook in a comparation of fields.

Follows is my current checck rm routine:
my ($results, $err_page) = $self->check_rm('register', ...

This is rather an invocation of check_rm as a method of $self.

Fellow monk, please rethink your question (see I know what I mean. Why don't you?), and strip it down to the core of your problem with the help of How do I post a question effectively?, for I can't do a code review even if I had the time to spare - in http://superclan.lsrfm.com/src/ there are only SuperClan.pm and User_Auth.pm.
