[Catalyst] How to use HTML::Widget::Constraint::Date

[Michele Beltrame]

Hello!

This constraint requirtes you to have three fields: one with day, one 
with month, one with years. This a common thing, as in many cases there 
are three select boxes which allow the user to select a date.

Others (including me) use a single text field maybe with some help such 
as JSCalendar. In this case you might be better off defining a filter 
which creates a DateTime and then work with that. This is also handy if 
you need to store the data in a database, as you can define an inflater 
for DateTime objects.

Michele.
