DESCRIPTION
   Common methods used for validating user input.

PREREQUISITES
   This package is part of a larger distribution and was NOT intended to be
   used directly. In order for this plugin to work properly, the following
   packages must be installed:

     Apache2::WebApp
     Date::Calc
     Data::Validate::URI
     Email::Valid
     HTTP::BrowserDetect
     Net::DNS::Check
     Params::Validate

INSTALLATION
   From source:

     $ tar xfz Apache2-WebApp-Plugin-Validate-0.X.X.tar.gz
     $ perl MakeFile.PL PREFIX=~/path/to/custom/dir LIB=~/path/to/custom/lib
     $ make
     $ make test
     $ make install

   Perl one liner using CPAN.pm:

     $ perl -MCPAN -e 'install Apache2::WebApp::Plugin::Validate'

   Use of CPAN.pm in interactive mode:

     $ perl -MCPAN -e shell
     cpan> install Apache2::WebApp::Plugin::Validate
     cpan> quit

   Just like the manual installation of Perl modules, the user may need
   root access during this process to insure write permission is allowed
   within the installation directory.
