DESCRIPTION

Yet another form data validator, which is inspired by HTML::FormHandler.

It has similar syntax and similar features, but it is NOT a form generator. Anyway you can extend it as you wish.

Form::Data::Processor vs HTML::FormHandler

I don't like Repeatable field in HFH - it is too slow (as the whole HFH is). But I like its syntax. So FDP should be a little bit faster than HFH.

Please look at benchmarks (benchmarks folder).
