I'm using FormFu in an application that gets a fair amount of traffic, and creates the same forms over and over again.

I had the idea to cache the FormFu objects in memcached, rather than create them from scratch every time. This works as long as the cached object is retrieved in the same process. However, if the object is retrieved in another process, then some of the HTML::FormFu modules may not have been loaded, leading to errors such as the following:

[error] Couldn't render template "undef error - Can't locate object method "process" via package "HTML::FormFu::Deflator::CompoundSplit" at /home/rkimball/svn/pangea/trunk/site_perl/HTML/FormFu/Element/_Field.pm line 625.
"

I know that this is not specifically a memcached/HTML::FormFu issue, but rather a general issue with serializing objects. I'm not sure what a general solution would be, however, especially because package names don't necessarily correspond directly to module files. So I'm wondering if anyone else has tried caching FormFu objects, if they encountered this problem, and how they dealt with it in this specific case.

thanks,
Ronald
