I heard about and started using Data::FormValidator. It returns a
hash, I think of fields which were valid, an array of fields that
were missing, and some other things, like invalid fields and
unknown fields.

The problem is, I don't know what to do with the information. I
just enter $valid{$field} in the form wihout checking whether it
exists, or is defined, or is true.
