NAME
    CGI::Untaint::object - base class for Input Handlers

SYNOPSIS
      package MyUntaint::foo;

      use base 'CGI::Untaint::object';

      sub _untaint_re {
        return qr/$your_regex/;
      }

      sub is_valid {
        my $self = shift;
        return is_ok($self->value);
      }

      1;

DESCRIPTION
    This is the base class that all Untaint objects should inherit from.

METHODS TO SUBCLASS
  is_valid / _untaint_re
    Your subclass should either provide a regular expression in _untaint_re (and yes, I should
    really make this public), or an entire is_valid method.

METHODS TO CALL
  value
    This should really have been two methods, but too many other modules now rely on the fact that
    this does double duty. As an accessor, this is the 'raw' value. As a mutator it's the extracted
    one.

  re_all / re_none
    Regular expressions to match anything, or nothing, untained. These should only be used if you
    have already validated your entry in some way that means you completely trust the data.

  untainted
    Are we clean yet?
