[cgiapp] Q: How to construct a constraint to test/limit the length of an input field...

["Kleindenst, Fred" <suppressed>]

Hello CGI::App list,

I'm sure that most of us use C::A::ValidateRM in our apps.  I've written some specific constraints for my projects, and I use them like in this snippet:

                constraints => {
                                dn_id                   => 'OK_int',
                                b_qdn                   => 'OK_chars',
                                rm                      => 'OK_chars',
                                admin_contact_fk        =>
                                  { constraint  =>  'contact_b_qdn',
                                    params      => [ qw/ admin_contact_fk b_qdn / ],
                                  },

					... etc...

I'm wondering what technique you use to validate the length of input fields?  I've been relying on my javascript/HTML tier (and DB error catching ) up to this point.  My first thought was to write a custom constraint that took a length argument.

How would you (or do you) do it?
