I'd just pass valid_values => sub { [ qw/One Two Three/ ] } and treat  
it as an enum until you get to do_apply - do_apply should return  
appropriate data, perhaps doing the search itself and returning the  
resultset. Then you can pass an on_apply_callback to the ActionForm  
that populates the ListView off the returned rs.
