Yeah, I'll spell it out in the docs. Basically, all I need to for
consumption by Rose::HTML::Form is build is a structure like this:
{
name => 'John', # param with single value
color => [ 'red', 'green' ], # param with multiple values
...
}
I think all I need is:
* $o->param() in list context returns a list of param names
* $o->param('foo') in list context returns a list of values
for any object $o. CGI.pm fits the bill, as do most other modules
that imitate CGI.pm's param() method, even minimally.
