Argh. My apologies to Gerda. Gerda wanted to convert Form::Processor
to Moose and had put a lot of work into it. I couldn't get the
versions Gerda sent to me to pass the tests on the my applications
that user Form::Processor. Unfortunately, work took a higher priority
than changing method makers from Rose::Object to Moose.
It's tough to maintain compatibility with major changes in architecture.
And finding time is always a challenge...
I missed any discussion of a new module, and its name. I purposely
didn't use "HTML" in the module name because Form::Processor isn't
just about building HTML forms. The existing form modules at the time
were focused (in part) on HTML generation (which I never need), but
what I needed was a way to move data in and out of the model layer via
"forms". Indeed, my application's API use Form::Processor as well as
command line scripts -- and there's no HTML in those actions.
FormHandler works the same in this respect--but I do think that
processing HTML forms is the central use case, so I don't think an HTML
in the name will lose many users...
Thanks again for the good work on Form::Processor.
Gerda
