HTML::FormFu has a prohibitive dependency footprint. Fine in a centralized project, but forcing that on someone else - and I'm going to distribute my work - seems too much to me.

As for DATA::CGIForm, I'm not using or extending it in any way. Should that be the case, changing the API would be out of question. Neither am I planning a drop-in replacement, due to the initialization phase.

But if it's popular and widely used, mimicking its API could still be worthy due to the least astonishment principle... That's why I'm asking.
