I was a little confused when I read your post at first. But I coded up an example based on the docs for CGI::Application::ValidateRM, it worked perfectly. But I kept wonderiong where your reerence to HTML::FillInForm came from.

Then it dawned on me! You were saying that CGI::Application::ValidateRM uses HTML::FillInForm internally - and pointed out with your example that I could use HTML::FilInForm for filling in retrieved data or defauilts in a form.

Thanks for the pointer. I suspect I am going to modify my exisiting templates and use HTML::FillInForm rather than CGI::FormBuilder.
