I'm a huge fan of C:A:P:ValidateRM but I stumbled across CGI::Formbuiler
last week, and my curiosity has been piqued. (I guess in the past the name
had confused me, because it sounds like it was only for creating forms and
I use HTML::Template). I'd love to hear people's experiences using
Formbuilder with C:A. Is using it instead of ValidateRM just a personal
preference thing - kind of like using the Template Toolkit insted of H:T?
Are the validation rules as flexible (I tend to encode Database-based
checks in anonymous subs with ValidateRM)?
