[Catalyst] Question about Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder

[Balaji Srinivasan]

Rather than the two approaches above, I think a better one was to add a new
validation type to the FormBuilder VALIDATE array.
$CGI::FormBuilder::Field::VALIDATE{FOOFIELD} =3D '/^[^,"]{6,40}$/';

Now in all my forms, i just set the validate field to FOOFIELD.
This works great for me. It avoide me having to write my own validation code
and also avoids the need to add the regex to each form.
