perl-CGI-FormBuilder/perl-CGI-FormBuilder.spec

Name: perl-CGI-FormBuilder
Summary: Easily generate and process stateful forms
Version: 3.0501
Release: 1
License: Artistic/GPL
Group: Applications/CPAN
URL: http://search.cpan.org/dist/CGI-FormBuilder/
Description: I hate generating and processing forms. Hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it. My forms almost always end up looking the same, and almost always end up doing the same thing. Unfortunately, there haven't really been any tools out there that streamline the process. Many modules simply substitute Perl for HTML code:

print qq(<input name="email" type="text" size="20">);


print input(-name => 'email', -type => 'text', -size => '20');

The problem is, that doesn't really gain you anything - you still have just as much code. Modules like CGI.pm are great for decoding parameters, but not for generating and processing whole forms.

The goal of CGI::FormBuilder (FormBuilder) is to provide an easy way for you to generate and process entire CGI form-based applications. Its main features are:

Field Abstraction

Viewing fields as entities (instead of just params), where the HTML
representation, CGI values, validation, and so on are properties of each
field.

DWIMmery

Lots of built-in "intelligence" (such as automatic field typing), giving
you about a 4:1 ratio of the code it generates versus what you have to
write.

Built-in Validation

Full-blown regex validation for fields, even including JavaScript code
generation.

Template Support

Pluggable support for external template engines, such as HTML::Template,
Text::Template, Template Toolkit, and CGI::FastTemplate.

Plus, the native HTML generated is valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

The build could not start because of the following missing build requirements:

perl(CGI::FastTemplate) >= 1.09

%description
I hate generating and processing forms. Hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it. My
forms almost always end up looking the same, and almost always end up doing the
same thing. Unfortunately, there haven't really been any tools out there that
streamline the process. Many modules simply substitute Perl for HTML code:

    # The manual way
    print qq(<input name="email" type="text" size="20">);

    # The module way
    print input(-name => 'email', -type => 'text', -size => '20');

The problem is, that doesn't really gain you anything - you still have just as
much code. Modules like CGI.pm are great for decoding parameters, but not for
generating and processing whole forms.
