I'm trying to do some progressive engagement by allowing one of my forms to be filled out before a user is required to log in, but once the form is filled, I need them to log in so that I can get the user ID, which is part of the record for that form's row in my db.

I'm using HTML::FormHandler::Model::DBIC and generally sticking to the example here: http://search.cpan.org/~gshank/HTML-FormHandler-0.32005/lib/HTML/FormHandler/Manual/Catalyst.pod#A_Controller_Example

The problem is that I don't know how to check to see if the form has been submitted and validated so that I know when to forward to /login.

It feels to me like the approach laid out at the URL above is a bit simple for this approach, but so far I haven't figured out how to do anything more low-level. Seems like setting the form as an attribute of the controller and then doing the processing and validating in my methods/actions might be the way to go.

Anyone have any examples or advice?

Thanks.

Eric
