[Dbix-class] best way to cleanse / validate data

[Alexander Hartmaier]

I'm using DBIx::Class::Validation since a few years without problems.
I only had to disable it for performance reasons in one of my apps.
If you're interested in the dbic metadata to FormValidator::Simple
profile generator I can mail it to the list, maybe someone polishes it
and releases it to CPAN.
