Yep, that sequence of events is exactly what I am seeing. Hooray, I am
not crazy! (well, on this one thing...)
One way I was thinking of getting around this was to do the same thing
you suggested with the template vars for the $controller->_formbuilder
data - create named aliases (at step 1 and 1a below) so that the CGI::FB
object can be grabbed even if clobbered by the forward. I will try this
out while you are checking in to things yourself (I haven't done it yet
because it doesn't look clean to implement, and I thought I was doing
something really wrong).
What I guess we would end up with is an FB::Multiple module that:
1) Still provide the normal ways of getting at form data, so that your
actions with no forwards still work like normal (ex: [%
FormBuilder.render %] and $self->formbuilder)
2) Provide an alternate way of getting at form stuff, so that you can
get data even if you are using forwards (ex: [%
forms.foo.FormBuilder.render %] and $self->forms{foo} or
$self->forms_foo - still haven't decided on a naming scheme)
Will send you my test app in a moment.
Thanks again!

Doubt it has anything to do with your environment. I thought I had
tested it a while back when helping someone else, but maybe something
was overlooked since I never got a final word back from the guy I was
helping. I think I have an idea of what might be wrong -- it has to
do with the following sequence of events:
Action foo
========
1) setup new FormBuilder before action
2) Run foo action which then $c->forwards to foo_search
Action foo_search
==============
1a) setup new FormBuilder before action
1b) run foo_search action
1c) setup_template_vars for foo_search after action
3) setup_template_vars for foo after action
Problem in #3 is that $self->_formbuilder is clobbered from the inner
forward action.
I will try to look into this today and get back to you, but it may not
be until quite late tonight and I won't be able to spend too much time
on it until this weekend. In the mean time, send *me* directly a
zip/gz of a minimal MyApp catalyst application (including forms and tt
files) so I can quickly get going on it.
Hopefully others will chime in to provide other ideas and
clarification of the action sequence.
