Not exactly a Perl thing, but I beg you (everyone, not just Chromatic), if you are collecting addresses online, to consider how different nationalities use words to describe different parts of an address. For example:
- most non-Americans have no idea what a zip code is.
- the word "city" hasa completely different meaning in the UK from in the US. (When I am asked for my "city" my response is "I don't live in a city".)
Also don't put in validation that will exclude non-US addresses e.g.
- zip code validation
- state abbreviation validation
- US phone number validation.
Just because it can be done doesn't mean you have to do it!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
