Catalyst FormBuilder plugin on CPAN

All-

I just now uploaded Catalyst::Plugin::FormBuilder to CPAN, which adds 
support for FormBuilder in Catalyst. It's also available here:

http://www.formbuilder.org/download/Catalyst-Plugin-FormBuilder-1.02.tar.gz

Usage is similar to XMLRPC: for those controller methods that contain 
forms, simply associate a ":Form" attribute with them:

     package MyApp::Controller::Books;

     sub edit : Form {
         # this automatically loads root/forms/books/edit.fb
         # and creates a $c->form object for you
         $c->form->method('post');
         $c->form->messages('messages.fr');  # French errors
     }

The page rendering is handled for you by Catalyst using its Template 
Toolkit hooks. To get a standard form, just call form.render in your 
template:

     <!-- root/src/books/edit.tt -->
     [% form.render %]

Or, if you want finer control over the placement of your fields, you can 
directly render your form using FormBuilder methods:

     <head>[% form.jshead %]</head>
