Hi,

  I have created some HTML forms using the Perl CGI module. Now I need to perform 
client-side
validations on those forms. Examples of these validations include checking if numbers 
alone have
been entered in a price field, checking if the e-mail field is in the correct format 
etc.

I am thinking of using Javascript for these validations. Could anyone tell me if this is the
best thing to use or is there some Perl-specific thing available that would be easier.

I my opinion, validations should always be server-side. If someone really wants to mess something up, they can call your script manually with bad data. They can also just turn off JavaScript.
