monkey_no3 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello,

I am a beginner, but i want to learn all the way to using Catalyst. In that direction, i have started learning/using Template Toolkit for templating.

Which is the best and most preferred module( by Catalyst), for form handling (validation, javascript, ajax etc.). So that out of many good modules out there I can devote my time and efforts into one whihc will later easily fit into Catalyst. (I guess everything gets fit into Catalyst, but i want to go with the Catalyst preferred modules/packages).

thank you.

    I have found HTML::FormFu as being the preferred form handler for Catalyst.

    Can someone please post a simple and complete example with FormFu? with radio buttons/checkbox/text area etc. I will then buildup from there, work and research based on my needs and issues i come across.

    I got a little scared by YAML...I found below, but frankly did not understand which issue it is trying to resolve. appreciate any help/URL on this too
    YAML: YAML Ain't Markup Language
    What It Is: YAML is a human friendly data serialization standard for all programming languages.

    Thank you
