Well, I have a (commercial) tool for putting CGI Formdata into
an ODBC (or some DBI :)) database. Since it was developed for
sending mail first it called VarioMail
(http://variomail.bedinetz.de) I have some functions for checking
for values which are extracted from form fields defined by
regular expressions. Well, there's a bug: german documentation
only. But the code itself uses english specifier which should
make it readble. It's OpenSource and in Perl, you may find some
useful ideas when trying that. Since it's OT here contact me via
PM.

oki,

Steffen
