modules for creating HTML form widgets?

buck_mulligan has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Good evening brethren (and sistren):

Have been searching for Perl modules that facilitate generation of common form elements, like pulldowns for state, country, birthday, etc. Also of great use would be a package that handles validation of data submitted from said forms (checks to make sure submissions to common fields are well-formed, don't contain malicious code, etc.)

Anybody know of such things? I saw the HTML::Widgets packages on CPAN, but I was trying to find something slightly more specific...

Thanks in advance for any suggestions/pointers.

Although I like to validate my own data there is the HTML:FormValidator Module to do the validation side of things. At the least it sould give you some good ideas. I think that most developers ah, uhm come to acquire a set of personal widgets for countries, dates, months etc. Veiw source, copy, paste....oops another trade secret exposed ;-) cheers tachyon s&&rsenoyhcatreve&&&s&n.+t&"$'$`$\"$\&"&ee&&y&srve&&d&&print	[reply]

Looks like I beat merlyn to mentioning the Splash! HTML GUI toolkit that is part of Template. I've never used it, but I do know that it is part of the standard distribution.	[reply]
