Data::FormValidator to check if two fields are equal.: msg#00040

Subject: Data::FormValidator to check if two fields are equal.
I'm not 100% sure this is right place to ask this question - but here we go.
Forward me in right direction if needed.

It is common that you need to make sure user entered same value in two different fields - like with password fields.
I haven't found something like that in DFV - am I'm missing something?

I could define my own constraint - but I'm not sure if it can receive any other data except dfv object and value of the field (I would need to receive value of the other field). So it would end as something like:


== the profile ==
        constraint_methods  => {
                user_password1 => equals($form->{user_password2}),
            user_email1 => email(),
            user_email2 => email(),
                user_email2 => equals($form->{user_email2}),
        }

O and what about providing a way to set the error message to something like: "Fields xyz and yxz don't have same value".

PS. I know I can check this via JavaScript - but it would be nice to also have that check on the server side.
