| 631 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =head1 DESCRIPTION | 
| 632 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 633 |  |  |  |  |  |  | This module is intended to extend the idea of making it easy to create | 
| 634 |  |  |  |  |  |  | web forms by allowing you to describe them with a simple langauge. These | 
| 635 |  |  |  |  |  |  | I are then passed through this module's parser and converted | 
| 636 |  |  |  |  |  |  | into L objects that you can easily use in your CGI | 
| 637 |  |  |  |  |  |  | scripts. In addition, this module can generate code for standalone modules | 
| 638 |  |  |  |  |  |  | which allow you to separate your form design from your script code. | 
| 639 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 640 |  |  |  |  |  |  | A simple formspec looks like this: | 
| 641 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 642 |  |  |  |  |  |  | name//VALUE | 
| 643 |  |  |  |  |  |  | email//EMAIL | 
| 644 |  |  |  |  |  |  | langauge:select{English,Spanish,French,German} | 
| 645 |  |  |  |  |  |  | moreinfo|Send me more information:checkbox | 
| 646 |  |  |  |  |  |  | interests:checkbox{Perl,karate,bass guitar} | 
| 647 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 648 |  |  |  |  |  |  | This will produce a required C test field, a required C text | 
| 649 |  |  |  |  |  |  | field that must look like an email address, an optional select dropdown | 
| 650 |  |  |  |  |  |  | field C with the choices English, Spanish, French, and German, | 
| 651 |  |  |  |  |  |  | an optional C checkbox labeled ``Send me more information'', and | 
| 652 |  |  |  |  |  |  | finally a set of checkboxes named C with the choices Perl, | 
| 653 |  |  |  |  |  |  | karate, and bass guitar. | 
| 654 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 655 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =head1 METHODS | 
| 656 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 657 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =head2 new | 
| 658 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 659 |  |  |  |  |  |  | my $parser = Text::FormBuilder->new; | 
| 660 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 661 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =head2 parse | 
| 662 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 663 |  |  |  |  |  |  | # parse a file (regular scalar) | 
| 664 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $parser->parse($filename); | 
| 665 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 666 |  |  |  |  |  |  | # or pass a scalar ref for parse a literal string | 
| 667 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $parser->parse(\$string); | 
| 668 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 669 |  |  |  |  |  |  | # or an array ref to parse lines | 
| 670 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $parser->parse(\@lines); | 
| 671 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 672 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Parse the file or string. Returns the parser object. This method, | 
| 673 |  |  |  |  |  |  | along with all of its C siblings, may be called as a class | 
| 674 |  |  |  |  |  |  | method to construct a new object. | 
| 675 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 676 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =head2 parse_file | 
| 677 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 678 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $parser->parse_file($src_file); | 
| 679 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 680 |  |  |  |  |  |  | # or as a class method | 
| 681 |  |  |  |  |  |  | my $parser = Text::FormBuilder->parse($src_file); | 
| 682 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 683 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =head2 parse_text | 
| 684 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 685 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $parser->parse_text($src); | 
| 686 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 687 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Parse the given C<$src> text. Returns the parser object. | 
| 688 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 689 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =head2 parse_array | 
| 690 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 691 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $parser->parse_array(@lines); | 
| 692 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 693 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Concatenates and parses C<@lines>. Returns the parser object. | 
| 694 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 695 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =head2 build | 
| 696 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 697 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $parser->build(%options); | 
| 698 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 699 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Builds the CGI::FormBuilder object. Options directly used by C are: | 
| 700 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 701 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =over | 
| 702 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 703 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =item C | 
| 704 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 705 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Only uses the form portion of the template, and omits the surrounding html, | 
| 706 |  |  |  |  |  |  | title, author, and the standard footer. This does, however, include the | 
| 707 |  |  |  |  |  |  | description as specified with the C directive. | 
| 708 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 709 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =item C, C | 
| 710 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 711 |  |  |  |  |  |  | These options allow you to tell Text::FormBuilder to use different | 
| 712 |  |  |  |  |  |  | CSS styles for the built in template. A value given a C will | 
| 713 |  |  |  |  |  |  | replace the existing CSS, and a value given as C will be | 
| 714 |  |  |  |  |  |  | appended to the CSS. If both options are given, then the CSS that is | 
| 715 |  |  |  |  |  |  | used will be C concatenated with C. | 
| 716 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 717 |  |  |  |  |  |  | If you want to use an external stylesheet, a quick way to get this is | 
| 718 |  |  |  |  |  |  | to set the C parameter to import your file: | 
| 719 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 720 |  |  |  |  |  |  | css => '@import(my_external_stylesheet.css);' | 
| 721 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 722 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =item C | 
| 723 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 724 |  |  |  |  |  |  | This works the same way as the C parameter to | 
| 725 |  |  |  |  |  |  | C<< CGI::FormBuilder->new >>; you can provide either a hashref of messages | 
| 726 |  |  |  |  |  |  | or a filename. | 
| 727 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 728 |  |  |  |  |  |  | The default messages used by Text::FormBuilder are: | 
| 729 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 730 |  |  |  |  |  |  | text_author       Created by %s | 
| 731 |  |  |  |  |  |  | text_madewith     Made with %s version %s | 
| 732 |  |  |  |  |  |  | text_required     (Required fields are marked in bold.) | 
| 733 |  |  |  |  |  |  | text_invalid      Missing or invalid value. | 
| 734 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 735 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Any messages you set here get passed on to CGI::FormBuilder, which means | 
| 736 |  |  |  |  |  |  | that you should be able to put all of your customization messages in one | 
| 737 |  |  |  |  |  |  | big file. | 
| 738 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 739 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =item C | 
| 740 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 741 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Sets the character encoding for the generated page. The default is ISO-8859-1. | 
| 742 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 743 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =back | 
| 744 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 745 |  |  |  |  |  |  | All other options given to C are passed on verbatim to the | 
| 746 |  |  |  |  |  |  | L constructor. Any options given here override the | 
| 747 |  |  |  |  |  |  | defaults that this module uses. | 
| 748 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 749 |  |  |  |  |  |  | The C | 
| 750 |  |  |  |  |  |  | C with no options for you if you do not do so explicitly. | 
| 751 |  |  |  |  |  |  | This allows you to say things like this: | 
| 752 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 753 |  |  |  |  |  |  | my $form = Text::FormBuilder->new->parse('formspec.txt')->form; | 
| 754 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 755 |  |  |  |  |  |  | However, if you need to specify options to C, you must call it | 
| 756 |  |  |  |  |  |  | explictly after C. | 
| 757 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 758 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =head2 form | 
| 759 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 760 |  |  |  |  |  |  | my $form = $parser->form; | 
| 761 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 762 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Returns the L object. Remember that you can modify | 
| 763 |  |  |  |  |  |  | this object directly, in order to (for example) dynamically populate | 
| 764 |  |  |  |  |  |  | dropdown lists or change input types at runtime. | 
| 765 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 766 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =head2 write | 
| 767 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 768 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $parser->write($out_file); | 
| 769 |  |  |  |  |  |  | # or just print to STDOUT | 
| 770 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $parser->write; | 
| 771 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 772 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Calls C on the FormBuilder form, and either writes the resulting | 
| 773 |  |  |  |  |  |  | HTML to a file, or to STDOUT if no filename is given. | 
| 774 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 775 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =head2 write_module | 
| 776 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 777 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $parser->write_module($package, $use_tidy); | 
| 778 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 779 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Takes a package name, and writes out a new module that can be used by your | 
| 780 |  |  |  |  |  |  | CGI script to render the form. This way, you only need CGI::FormBuilder on | 
| 781 |  |  |  |  |  |  | your server, and you don't have to parse the form spec each time you want | 
| 782 |  |  |  |  |  |  | to display your form. The generated module has one function (not exported) | 
| 783 |  |  |  |  |  |  | called C, that takes a CGI object as its only argument, and returns | 
| 784 |  |  |  |  |  |  | a CGI::FormBuilder object. | 
| 785 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 786 |  |  |  |  |  |  | First, you parse the formspec and write the module, which you can do as a one-liner: | 
| 787 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 788 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ perl -MText::FormBuilder -e"Text::FormBuilder->parse('formspec.txt')->write_module('My::Form')" | 
| 789 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 790 |  |  |  |  |  |  | And then, in your CGI script, use the new module: | 
| 791 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 792 |  |  |  |  |  |  | #!/usr/bin/perl -w | 
| 793 |  |  |  |  |  |  | use strict; | 
| 794 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 795 |  |  |  |  |  |  | use CGI; | 
| 796 |  |  |  |  |  |  | use My::Form; | 
| 797 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 798 |  |  |  |  |  |  | my $q = CGI->new; | 
| 799 |  |  |  |  |  |  | my $form = My::Form::get_form($q); | 
| 800 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 801 |  |  |  |  |  |  | # do the standard CGI::FormBuilder stuff | 
| 802 |  |  |  |  |  |  | if ($form->submitted && $form->validate) { | 
| 803 |  |  |  |  |  |  | # process results | 
| 804 |  |  |  |  |  |  | } else { | 
| 805 |  |  |  |  |  |  | print $q->header; | 
| 806 |  |  |  |  |  |  | print $form->render; | 
| 807 |  |  |  |  |  |  | } | 
| 808 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 809 |  |  |  |  |  |  | If you pass a true value as the second argument to C, the parser | 
| 810 |  |  |  |  |  |  | will run L on the generated code before writing the module file. | 
| 811 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 812 |  |  |  |  |  |  | # write tidier code | 
| 813 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $parser->write_module('My::Form', 1); | 
| 814 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 815 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =head2 write_script | 
| 816 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 817 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $parser->write_script($filename, $use_tidy); | 
| 818 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 819 |  |  |  |  |  |  | If you don't need the reuseability of a separate module, you can have | 
| 820 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Text::FormBuilder write the form object to a script for you, along with | 
| 821 |  |  |  |  |  |  | the simplest framework for using it, to which you can add your actual | 
| 822 |  |  |  |  |  |  | form processing code. | 
| 823 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 824 |  |  |  |  |  |  | The generated script looks like this: | 
| 825 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 826 |  |  |  |  |  |  | #!/usr/bin/perl | 
| 827 |  |  |  |  |  |  | use strict; | 
| 828 |  |  |  |  |  |  | use warnings; | 
| 829 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 830 |  |  |  |  |  |  | use CGI; | 
| 831 |  |  |  |  |  |  | use CGI::FormBuilder; | 
| 832 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 833 |  |  |  |  |  |  | my $q = CGI->new; | 
| 834 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 835 |  |  |  |  |  |  | my $form = CGI::FormBuilder->new( | 
| 836 |  |  |  |  |  |  | params => $q, | 
| 837 |  |  |  |  |  |  | # ... lots of other stuff to set up the form ... | 
| 838 |  |  |  |  |  |  | ); | 
| 839 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 840 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $form->field( name => 'month' ); | 
| 841 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $form->field( name => 'day' ); | 
| 842 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 843 |  |  |  |  |  |  | unless ( $form->submitted && $form->validate ) { | 
| 844 |  |  |  |  |  |  | print $form->render; | 
| 845 |  |  |  |  |  |  | } else { | 
| 846 |  |  |  |  |  |  | # do something with the entered data ... | 
| 847 |  |  |  |  |  |  | # this is where your form processing code should go | 
| 848 |  |  |  |  |  |  | } | 
| 849 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 850 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Like C, you can optionally pass a true value as the second | 
| 851 |  |  |  |  |  |  | argument to have Perl::Tidy make the generated code look nicer. | 
| 852 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 853 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =head2 dump | 
| 854 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 855 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Uses L to print out a human-readable representation of the parsed | 
| 856 |  |  |  |  |  |  | form spec. | 
| 857 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 858 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =head1 EXPORTS | 
| 859 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 860 |  |  |  |  |  |  | There is one exported function, C, that is intended to ``do the | 
| 861 |  |  |  |  |  |  | right thing'' in simple cases. | 
| 862 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 863 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =head2 create_form | 
| 864 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 865 |  |  |  |  |  |  | # get a CGI::FormBuilder object | 
| 866 |  |  |  |  |  |  | my $form = create_form($source, $options, $destination); | 
| 867 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 868 |  |  |  |  |  |  | # or just write the form immediately | 
| 869 |  |  |  |  |  |  | create_form($source, $options, $destination); | 
| 870 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 871 |  |  |  |  |  |  | C<$source> accepts any of the types of arguments that C does. C<$options> | 
| 872 |  |  |  |  |  |  | is a hashref of options that should be passed to C. Finally, C<$destination> | 
| 873 |  |  |  |  |  |  | is a simple scalar that determines where and what type of output C | 
| 874 |  |  |  |  |  |  | should generate. | 
| 875 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 876 |  |  |  |  |  |  | /\.pm$/             ->write_module($destination) | 
| 877 |  |  |  |  |  |  | /\.(cgi|pl)$/       ->write_script($destination) | 
| 878 |  |  |  |  |  |  | everything else     ->write($destination) | 
| 879 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 880 |  |  |  |  |  |  | For anything more than simple, one-off cases, you are usually better off using the | 
| 881 |  |  |  |  |  |  | object-oriented interface, since that gives you more control over things. | 
| 882 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 883 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =head1 DEFAULTS | 
| 884 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 885 |  |  |  |  |  |  | These are the default settings that are passed to C<< CGI::FormBuilder->new >>: | 
| 886 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 887 |  |  |  |  |  |  | method => 'GET' | 
| 888 |  |  |  |  |  |  | javascript => 0 | 
| 889 |  |  |  |  |  |  | keepextras => 1 | 
| 890 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 891 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Any of these can be overriden by the C method: | 
| 892 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 893 |  |  |  |  |  |  | # use POST instead | 
| 894 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $parser->build(method => 'POST')->write; |

| 940 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =item C |

| 944 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =item C | 
| 945 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 946 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Define a named group of fields that are displayed all on one line. Use with | 
| 947 |  |  |  |  |  |  | the C directive. | 
| 948 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 949 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =item C | 
| 950 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 951 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Include a named instance of a group defined with C. | 
| 952 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 953 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =item C | 
| 954 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 955 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Title of the form. | 
| 956 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 957 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =item C | 
| 958 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 959 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Author of the form. | 
| 960 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 961 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =item C | 
| 962 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 963 |  |  |  |  |  |  | A brief description of the form. Suitable for special instructions on how to | 
| 964 |  |  |  |  |  |  | fill out the form. | 
| 965 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 966 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =item C | 
| 967 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 968 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Starts a new section. Each section has its own heading and id, which are | 
| 969 |  |  |  |  |  |  | written by default into spearate tables. | 
| 970 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 971 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =item C | 
| 972 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 973 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Inserts a heading between two fields. There can only be one heading between | 
| 974 |  |  |  |  |  |  | any two fields; the parser will warn you if you try to put two headings right | 
| 975 |  |  |  |  |  |  | next to each other. | 
| 976 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 977 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =item C | 
| 978 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 979 |  |  |  |  |  |  | A text note that can be inserted as a row in the form. This is useful for | 
| 980 |  |  |  |  |  |  | special instructions at specific points in a long form. | 
| 981 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 982 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =back | 
| 983 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 984 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =head2 Fields | 
| 985 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 986 |  |  |  |  |  |  | First, a note about multiword strings in the fields. Anywhere where it says | 
| 987 |  |  |  |  |  |  | that you may use a multiword string, this means that you can do one of two | 
| 988 |  |  |  |  |  |  | things. For strings that consist solely of alphanumeric characters (i.e. | 
| 989 |  |  |  |  |  |  | C<\w+>) and spaces, the string will be recognized as is: | 
| 990 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 991 |  |  |  |  |  |  | field_1|A longer label | 
| 992 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 993 |  |  |  |  |  |  | If you want to include non-alphanumerics (e.g. punctuation), you must | 
| 994 |  |  |  |  |  |  | single-quote the string: | 
| 995 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 996 |  |  |  |  |  |  | field_2|'Dept./Org.' | 
| 997 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 998 |  |  |  |  |  |  | To include a literal single-quote in a single-quoted string, escape it with | 
| 999 |  |  |  |  |  |  | a backslash: | 
| 1000 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1001 |  |  |  |  |  |  | field_3|'\'Official\' title' | 
| 1002 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1003 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Now, back to the beginning. Form fields are each described on a single line. | 
| 1004 |  |  |  |  |  |  | The simplest field is just a name (which cannot contain any whitespace): | 
| 1005 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1006 |  |  |  |  |  |  | color | 
| 1007 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1008 |  |  |  |  |  |  | This yields a form with one text input field of the default size named `color'. | 
| 1009 |  |  |  |  |  |  | The generated label for this field would be ``Color''. To add a longer or more\ | 
| 1010 |  |  |  |  |  |  | descriptive label, use: | 
| 1011 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1012 |  |  |  |  |  |  | color|Favorite color | 
| 1013 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1014 |  |  |  |  |  |  | The descriptive label can be a multiword string, as described above. So if you | 
| 1015 |  |  |  |  |  |  | want punctuation in the label, you should single quote it: | 
| 1016 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1017 |  |  |  |  |  |  | color|'Fav. color' | 
| 1018 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1019 |  |  |  |  |  |  | To use a different input type: | 
| 1020 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1021 |  |  |  |  |  |  | color|Favorite color:select{red,blue,green} | 
| 1022 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1023 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Recognized input types are the same as those used by CGI::FormBuilder: | 
| 1024 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1025 |  |  |  |  |  |  | text        # the default | 
| 1026 |  |  |  |  |  |  | textarea | 
| 1027 |  |  |  |  |  |  | password | 
| 1028 |  |  |  |  |  |  | file | 
| 1029 |  |  |  |  |  |  | checkbox | 
| 1030 |  |  |  |  |  |  | radio | 
| 1031 |  |  |  |  |  |  | select | 
| 1032 |  |  |  |  |  |  | hidden |

| 1035 |  |  |  |  |  |  | To change the size of the input field, add a bracketed subscript after the | 
| 1036 |  |  |  |  |  |  | field name (but before the descriptive label): | 
| 1037 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1038 |  |  |  |  |  |  | # for a single line field, sets size="40" | 
| 1039 |  |  |  |  |  |  | title[40]:text | 
| 1040 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1041 |  |  |  |  |  |  | # for a multiline field, sets rows="4" and cols="30" | 
| 1042 |  |  |  |  |  |  | description[4,30]:textarea | 
| 1043 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1044 |  |  |  |  |  |  | To also set the C attribute for text fields, add a C after | 
| 1045 |  |  |  |  |  |  | the size: | 
| 1046 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1047 |  |  |  |  |  |  | # ensure that all titles entered are 40 characters or less | 
| 1048 |  |  |  |  |  |  | title[40!]:text | 
| 1049 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1050 |  |  |  |  |  |  | This currently only works for single line text fields. | 
| 1051 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1052 |  |  |  |  |  |  | For the input types that can have options (C | 
| 1053 |  |  |  |  |  |  | C), here's how you do it: | 
| 1054 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1055 |  |  |  |  |  |  | color|Favorite color:select{red,blue,green} | 
| 1056 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1057 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Values are in a comma-separated list of single words or multiword strings | 
| 1058 |  |  |  |  |  |  | inside curly braces. Whitespace between values is irrelevant. | 
| 1059 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1060 |  |  |  |  |  |  | To add more descriptive display text to a value in a list, add a square-bracketed | 
| 1061 |  |  |  |  |  |  | ``subscript,'' as in: | 
| 1062 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1063 |  |  |  |  |  |  | ...:select{red[Scarlet],blue[Azure],green[Olive Drab]} | 
| 1064 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1065 |  |  |  |  |  |  | If you have a list of options that is too long to fit comfortably on one line, | 
| 1066 |  |  |  |  |  |  | you should use the C directive: | 
| 1067 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1068 |  |  |  |  |  |  | !list MONTHS { | 
| 1069 |  |  |  |  |  |  | 1[January], | 
| 1070 |  |  |  |  |  |  | 2[February], | 
| 1071 |  |  |  |  |  |  | 3[March], | 
| 1072 |  |  |  |  |  |  | # and so on... | 
| 1073 |  |  |  |  |  |  | } | 
| 1074 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1075 |  |  |  |  |  |  | month:select@MONTHS | 
| 1076 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1077 |  |  |  |  |  |  | There is another form of the C directive: the dynamic list: | 
| 1078 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1079 |  |  |  |  |  |  | !list RANDOM &{ map { rand } (0..5) } | 
| 1080 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1081 |  |  |  |  |  |  | The code inside the C<&{ ... }> is Ced by C, and the results | 
| 1082 |  |  |  |  |  |  | are stuffed into the list. The Ced code can either return a simple | 
| 1083 |  |  |  |  |  |  | list, as the example does, or the fancier C<< ( { value1 => 'Description 1'}, | 
| 1084 |  |  |  |  |  |  | { value2 => 'Description 2}, ... ) >> form. | 
| 1085 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1086 |  |  |  |  |  |  | I This feature of the language may go away unless I find a compelling | 
| 1087 |  |  |  |  |  |  | reason for it in the next few versions. What I really wanted was lists that | 
| 1088 |  |  |  |  |  |  | were filled in at run-time (e.g. from a database), and that can be done easily | 
| 1089 |  |  |  |  |  |  | enough with the CGI::FormBuilder object directly.> | 
| 1090 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1091 |  |  |  |  |  |  | If you want to have a single checkbox (e.g. for a field that says ``I want to | 
| 1092 |  |  |  |  |  |  | recieve more information''), you can just specify the type as checkbox without | 
| 1093 |  |  |  |  |  |  | supplying any options: | 
| 1094 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1095 |  |  |  |  |  |  | moreinfo|I want to recieve more information:checkbox | 
| 1096 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1097 |  |  |  |  |  |  | In this case, the label ``I want to recieve more information'' will be | 
| 1098 |  |  |  |  |  |  | printed to the right of the checkbox. | 
| 1099 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1100 |  |  |  |  |  |  | You can also supply a default value to the field. To get a default value of | 
| 1101 |  |  |  |  |  |  | C for the color field: | 
| 1102 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1103 |  |  |  |  |  |  | color|Favorite color:select=green{red,blue,green} | 
| 1104 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1105 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Default values can also be either single words or multiword strings. | 
| 1106 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1107 |  |  |  |  |  |  | To validate a field, include a validation type at the end of the field line: | 
| 1108 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1109 |  |  |  |  |  |  | email|Email address//EMAIL | 
| 1110 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1111 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Valid validation types include any of the builtin defaults from L, | 
| 1112 |  |  |  |  |  |  | or the name of a pattern that you define with the C directive elsewhere | 
| 1113 |  |  |  |  |  |  | in your form spec: | 
| 1114 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1115 |  |  |  |  |  |  | !pattern DAY /^([1-3][0-9])|[1-9]$/ | 
| 1116 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1117 |  |  |  |  |  |  | last_day//DAY | 
| 1118 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1119 |  |  |  |  |  |  | If you just want a required value, use the builtin validation type C: | 
| 1120 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1121 |  |  |  |  |  |  | title//VALUE | 
| 1122 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1123 |  |  |  |  |  |  | By default, adding a validation type to a field makes that field required. To | 
| 1124 |  |  |  |  |  |  | change this, add a C> to the end of the validation type: | 
| 1125 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1126 |  |  |  |  |  |  | contact//EMAIL? | 
| 1127 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1128 |  |  |  |  |  |  | In this case, you would get a C field that was optional, but if it | 
| 1129 |  |  |  |  |  |  | were filled in, would have to validate as an C. | 
| 1130 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1131 |  |  |  |  |  |  | =head2 Field Groups | 
| 1132 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1133 |  |  |  |  |  |  | You can define groups of fields using the C directive: | 
| 1134 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1135 |  |  |  |  |  |  | !group DATE { | 
| 1136 |  |  |  |  |  |  | month:select@MONTHS//INT | 
| 1137 |  |  |  |  |  |  | day[2]//INT | 
| 1138 |  |  |  |  |  |  | year[4]//INT | 
| 1139 |  |  |  |  |  |  | } | 
| 1140 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1141 |  |  |  |  |  |  | You can then include instances of this group using the C directive: | 
| 1142 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1143 |  |  |  |  |  |  | !field %DATE birthday | 
| 1144 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1145 |  |  |  |  |  |  | This will create a line in the form labeled ``Birthday'' which contains | 
| 1146 |  |  |  |  |  |  | a month dropdown, and day and year text entry fields. The actual input field | 
| 1147 |  |  |  |  |  |  | names are formed by concatenating the C name (e.g. C) with | 
| 1148 |  |  |  |  |  |  | the name of the subfield defined in the group (e.g. C, C, C). | 
| 1149 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Thus in this example, you would end up with the form fields C, | 
| 1150 |  |  |  |  |  |  | C, and C. |

| 1154 |  |  |  |  |  |  | # comment ... |

| 1156 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Any line beginning with a C<#> is considered a comment. |

| 1165 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Allow groups to be used in normal field lines something like this: |

| 1175 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Pieces that wouldn't make sense in a group field: size, row/col, options, | 
| 1176 |  |  |  |  |  |  | validate. These should cause C to emit a warning before ignoring them. |

| 1182 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Maybe use HTML::Template instead of Text::Template for the built in template |

| 1190 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1191 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Creating two $parsers in the same script causes the second one to get the data | 
| 1192 |  |  |  |  |  |  | from the first one. | 
| 1193 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1194 |  |  |  |  |  |  | I'm sure there are more in there, I just haven't tripped over any new ones lately. :-) | 
| 1195 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
| 1196 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Suggestions on how to improve the (currently tiny) test suite would be appreciated. |
