> Validating in Perl?! I'm interested!
Of course, perl has regular expressions far superiour
to anything Javascript offers. In fact, I once looked
at validating in Javascript and decided the character
manipulation was far too much effort.
You seem surprised... why?

Assuming CGI and param() is in use:
use CGI::Carp;
my $username = param("username") || "";
my $email = param("email") || "";
carp "Invalid username\n"
unless $username =~ /^[a-zA-Z_]{2,8}$/;
carp "Invalid email\n"
unless email_ok($email);

This seems too easy... another variation on this
allows much more secure scripts - again by using
regular expressions and perl taint mode. BTW,
you must be fairly proficient with regular
expressions to get the most out of Perl.
