So, I said I'd include an HTML::Template example of my madness. Here is the additional code (to work, it needs to be added to the root node's code):

sub main_form {
    my $self = shift;
    # Format NEXTRMS the way H::T expects
    my @NEXTRMS = map +{NEXTRMS => $_},
                  @{$self->{__NEXTRMS}->{$self->get_current_runmode()}
+};
    $self->{template}->param(RUNMODE => $self->get_current_runmode(),
                             HANDLER => (caller(1))[3],
                             NEXTRMS => \@NEXTRMS,
    );
    return $self->{template}->output();
}

__DATA__
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
Runmode: <TMPL_VAR NAME=RUNMODE><br>
Dispatched sub: <TMPL_VAR NAME=HANDLER>
<form action="/cgi-bin/monktest.pl" method="POST"
 name="myform">
Test <input name="Test" type="text" />
<input name="_reset" type="reset" value="Reset" />

<TMPL_LOOP NAME=NEXTRMS>
<input name="_submit" onClick="this.form._submit.value = this.value;"
 type="submit" value="<TMPL_VAR NAME=NEXTRMS>" />
</TMPL_LOOP>

</form>
</body>
</html>

This produces (practically) identical output to the CGI::FormBuilder code. But I have a couple problems

I think I need to turn the 'run_mode' structure inside-out from how it is now.

Thoughts?

Well, I suppose I could hotwire this thing.
