Hi Jessie,

They're separate distributions, not part of Maypole, so they have their 
own change logs. There was a release of CGI::Untaint over Christmas and 
its change log indicates new behaviour with respect to false values, so 
there could well be a difference in the circumstances you describe.

I'm interested to try Data::FormValidator with Maypole as well. Yours is 
the first posting I've seen from somebody who's tried it. Would you mind 
posting some code (your do_edit?) and/or sharing your experience?

Thanks,
Dave
