I'm using the Catalyst Framework to develop a small app. I'm actually searching for a way to handling my forms in a more common way. The Catalyst Tutorial told about tree different modules and give recommendations for 2 tools, HTML::FormFu and HTML::FormHandler.

Honestly, I really appreciate the TIMTOWTDI pragma, but this time I don't know how to choose between both of the two. Can you give me some feedback on these tools and why you do or don't use it?

I don't specially look for performance but much more for ease of use. This one is the most commonly used is also a good answer to me.

I personally have used only HTML::FormHandler. What I liked about it was the fact that you can generate the form classes based on your DBIC models.

Another extra point for using it is the fact that it has a bootstrap theme renderer so that your form fields will look fancier.

  • Thanx! It seems useful. When you say 'generate the form classes based on your DBIC models', do you mean by using HTML::FormHandler::Generator::DBIC or another tool? – smonff Nov 26 '12 at 12:43
