Investigate form handler modules

[eevee]

Vee::Form sucks. Avoid and remove if at all possible. I'd really like something that just DTRT.

Possibilities:

• FormBuilder
• HTML::Widget
• HTML::FormFu, apparently a replacement to the above?
• Whatever Grazz uses (Widget?)

After further investigation, these form modules are kind of weird, but FormBuilder? would probably be the best bet. Using Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder?, it can read form configuration files (which is essentially YAML) and load the form from that, which is rather extensible I think. I think changing an action from ex. sub edit : Local to sub edit : Local Form is kind of ugly, but whatever. The point remains that FormBuilder? is pretty extensible out-of-box, which is good.

Okay, well.

HTML::FormFu? looks like a winner, I think, except for the slightly critical issue that it breaks in all sorts of impressive ways with repeated field names. Most notable is http://code.google.com/p/html-formfu/issues/detail?id=10 but there are also issues with Repeatable.

Going with it for now, I guess.

Fundamentally broken lol 8D Repeatable doesn't work in any useful way whatsoever.
