Re: confirming password with CGI::A::ValidateRM

Yep - you can do it with the constraint rule ... I did it like this in 
the Validator hashref:
sub _second_profile {
 return {
  'required'            =>   [ qw( [snip] password password2  ) ],
  'constraints' =>   {
    'password'                  =>   {
        name            =>   'users_passwords',
        constraint      =>   \&check_password,
        params          =>   [ qw( password password2 ) ],
        },
    [snip]
  },
  'msgs'                        =>   {
    'any_errors'        =>   'some_errors',
    'prefix'            =>   'err_',
    constraints         =>   {
      'users_passwords' =>   "Your passwords don't match",
    },
  };
}

And then this easy support method, which could be simplified code-wise:

sub check_password {
        my ( $p1, $p2 ) = @_;
        
        if ( $p1 eq $p2 ) {
                return 1;
        } else {
                return 0;
        }
}

HTH,
