Thanks, Dave. the part that I'd missed int he docs was about how to
tell if any params had been submitted. I had done some coding around
that problem before implementing formhandler. Nice that I can leverage
that.
Thanks again for pointing that out.

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

Been a while since I last used HFH but how about
$form->validated;
that should only return true if the form was validated and from
skimming through the docs validation is only done if form parameters
are present.
