[cgiapp] ANNOUNCE: ::Plugin::ValidateRM 2.00_01 with new dfv() method

[Mark Stosberg <suppressed>]

Hello,

I've just uploaded a new developer release of ValidateRM to CPAN, which
you can also get here:

 http://mark.stosberg.com/dfv/CGI-Application-Plugin-ValidateRM-2.00_01.tar.gz

I added a dfv() method as an alternate way to access the results object
that's generated. I think this will be of primary interest to other
plugin authors rather than users. 

For example, AnyTemplate could use it to automatically make the
validated data available as template parameters. 

I made it a developer release, because I'm hung up on the best way to
handle an export/import issue. 

I now ask users to explicitly export check_rm(). (A choice which I have
come to care less about.)

However, I wanted dfv() to be exported automatically, thinking that
users won't need to see it, but it would be available to other plugin
authors. 

I learned that I can't mix implicit and explicit imports like that,
without writing my own import() routine. But adding that
non-standardness might further confuse people.

I chose to have people import dfv() explicitly if they want it for now,
but am open to other suggestions about this, or any other feedback at
all.

Thumbs up? Thumbs down? 

    Mark
