FormFu or FormBuilder

[Kiffin Gish-3]

I noticed that both FormFu and FormBuilder are mentioned in the Catalyst
tutorial, and would be interested to hear the advantages and
disadvantages of using the one or the other.

Have a look at: http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?form_processing

There is also a Form page at the Catalyst wiki - but FormBuilder is
not mentioned there at all:
http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/wiki/howtos/forms

Cheers,

I just added RHTMLO to the cat wiki forms page too.

Looks like FormBuilder is not recommended anymore, according to the wiki
(to answer the OP question).

FormFu seems better, whereas FormBuilder's html is still experimental
(whatever that means).

Well actually both are mentioned here:

I'm sorry but I mean *FormHandler* (not FormBuilder)

I'm currently using FormBuilder and am quite happy with it. There are
some things that could be better (being able to read the action from the
form config files instead of having to manually set it), but over all
it's quite nice. There is also FormBuilder::Multi for when you want to
have multiple forms on the same page.
