HTML::FormHandler, Moose and Repeated Forms

locked_user sundialsvc4 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

The display that I am trying to build can be succinctly described as “repeating forms ... all in one <FORM>.”

In other words, I will be putting out a series of included subforms, each wrapped in its own text-area, all contained within what HTML perceives to be “a single form.” And furthermore, I will be assigning id values to them in a way that is gracious to various JavaScript helper libraries.

For various reasons, HTML::FormHandler appears to be the best tool, but I am drawing-a-blank about the simplest way to handle the repetition.

The object that is driving the form is actually a Moose object containing an array of other Moose objects, containing the values. I can handle most of the plumbing easily-enough, if I have to, but I am once-again dogged with the notion, “hasn't somebody out there already done this?”

The “documentation,” (sic...) is the usual mixture of “barely there” and “coming soon” ... :-(

It was only released two days ago. And from what I can see, only the templates and cookbook sections are placeholders; there's a lot more docs there than on most CPAN modules.	[reply]

...it was only released two days ago... `<BLINK>` “Whu-u-u-u-ups!” `</BLINK>` `$self->{'face'}{'color'} = { 'color' => 'red', 'intensity' => 'extreme', };`

“Shoe leather! Yummy!!&rdqo; Well, for all you “Moose-heads” out there: `:-O` “This thing is frikkin' awesome!” This just might be “the CPAN module that's talked about everywhere” for this spring.
