Hello Jason,
Data::FormValidator already both these cases (extensions and multi-input
validation). However, "straightforward" may be in question. :) Here's an
example syntax to show this off. The first bit is straight from the documentation:
constraints => {
# Use the built-in "cc_no" constraint with multiple inputs
cc_no => { constraint => "cc_number",
params => [ qw( cc_no cc_type ) ],
},
# validate a postal code depending on the country code with your own function
postal_code => {
constraint => \&my_postal_code_validation,
params => [ qw( postal_code country_code ) ],
},
}

I think what's not entirely clear is the documentation for this. It's
hard for me
to describe a complex data structure like the above in plain english.
Perhaps the documentation just needs more examples or better structure.
Suggestions welcome. :)
