Hi, carl, thanks for the help!! the doco you passed to me on was really good.. Thanks
Nevertheless, I could only find Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder::MultiForm. You mentioned there's HTML::FormFu::MultiForm. I have seen "Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu::Action::MultiForm" but can't seem to read up on it cause there's no link to it in http://search.cpan.org/~cfranks/Catalyst-Controller-HTML-FormFu-0.03000/. Yes, I know we could use perhaps another module to handle forms with multiple steps but I think HTML::FormFu is cool and would love to build my application with it. Would be great if you could shed some light here. thank you.
