The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: Data::Validate::Item DSLIP: adpOp description: Validate data items against simple rules userid: ASTAINES (Anthony Staines) chapterid: 6 (Data_Type_Utilities) communities: Perlmonks comp.lang.perl.modules
similar: rationale: There is a frequent need in data munging to establish whether data items meet certain criteria. This is usually dealt with by ad-hoc verification routines. These are hard to write, hard to maintain and hard to document. This module provide a simple interface for writing rules to which an item of data must conform. This allows you to put all of the rules which an item must obey in one place. If you have, as is the common situation, many items of data organised as records, you can take out common rules, and write these only once. This is an alpha release, intended for comment and critical feedback. The interface may well change in response to this fedback. What this module does not do is allow you to specify rules involving several data items. The non-existent companion module Data::Validator::Record will do this some day. Feel free to start writing it! enteredby: ASTAINES (Anthony Staines) enteredon: Mon Dec 30 23:00:03 2002 GMT The resulting entry would be: Data::Validate:: ::Item adpOp Validate data items against simple rules ASTAINES Thanks for registering, The Pause Team PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=a3400000_b1db1e95b99d9db2&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=a3400000_b1db1e95b99d9db2&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1
