Is it all right to use $Request->{Form}? Directly using this variable
seems to be an undocumented feature, but I found it useful recently:
It makes $Response->{FormFill} more flexible because now rather than
only being able to re-populate the form with data that the user just
entered, I can also re-populate the form from a database record
(useful for editing things in the database).
For example:
my $id = int($Request->Params('id'));
my $submission = $dbh->selectrow_hashref("SELECT * FROM submissions WHERE id = $id");
$Response->{FormFill} = 1;
$Request->{Form} = $submission;
# HTML code for the form goes below
I would not recommend doing this exactly as you have done. What I would
do rather is repopulate the $Form hashref, but keep the blessed object
reference as it, so:
%{$Request->{Form}} = %$submission;
while its OK to access $Request->{Form} directly, what may not be OK
in the future is to change the class that that hash is blessed into.
