Web form generation and validation

[szabgab]

I am thinking to create a web based survey and I thought the best way would be to describe the questions and the possible answers as a json or yaml file. Then generate the forms from there (possibly spreading several pages). From the same description file I could derive the rules for input validation and then I could use something like Data::FormValidator to validate the results.

In the end I'd like to plug this in a Dancer based application.

I wonder what modules are out there on CPAN that could help doing this?

HTML::FormHandler or HTML::FormFu. I believe both do validation so you won't need another piece for that. Dancer would be fine and has picked up a lot of components quickly. Catalyst has many more if you wanted to do something a bit bigger/deeper.
