    use Form::Sensible::Field::LongText;

    my $textfield = Form::Sensible::Field::LongText->new(
                                                    name => 'username',
                                                    maximum_length => 16,
                                                    should_truncate => 0

Form::Sensible::Field subclass for representing large amounts of character-string based data. It has all the same attributes and behaviors as Text, only is intended for larger amounts of text. It is separate from Text fields only because it is likely larger-blocks of text will require additional formatting and processing options.

'maximum_length'

The maximum length this text field should accept. Note that any size of string can be placed in the field, it will simply fail validation if it is too large. Alternately if 'should_truncate' is true, the value will be truncated when it is set.

'should_truncate'

Indicates that if value is set to a string larger than maximum_length, it should be automatically truncated to maximum_length. This has to be manually turned on, by default should_truncate is false.
