Data::FormValidator::Filters::Image 0.30

Data::FormValidator::Filters::Image is a filter that allows you to shrink incoming image uploads using Data::FormValidator.

SYNOPSIS

use Data::FormValidator::Filters::Image qw( image_filter );

# Build a Data::FormValidator Profile:
my $my_profile = {
required => qw( uploaded_image ),
field_filters => {
uploaded_image => image_filter(max_width => 800, max_height => 600),
},
};

# Be sure to use a CGI.pm object as the form input
# when using this filter
my $q = new CGI;
my $dfv = Data::FormValidator->check($q,$my_profile);

Many users when uploading image files never bother to shrink them down to a reasonable size. Instead of declining the upload because it is too large, this module will shrink the image down to a reasonable size during the form validation stage.
The filter will try to fail gracefully by leaving the upload as is if the image resize operation fails.
