Package: libdata-formvalidator-perl
Version: 4.66-1
Severity: wishlist


This package includes a module
Data::FormValidator::Constraints::Dates which is not the most
important module in the package.
There is now an alternative
Data::FormValidator::Constraints::DateTime which is in the process of being
packaged for Debian.
DFC::Dates is based upon DateCalc which some consider to be inferior to
DateTime, the basis of DFC::DateTime.
