which could already be written as:
$form = MyPersonForm->new; # $form "isa" Rose::HTML::Form
$form->params($cgi->Vars);
$form->init_fields;
$person = $form->person_from_form;
which isn't longer or less clear than the new params_from_cgi(), IMHO.
I was hoping to bypass the whole Rose::HTML::Form stuff because it might be a
bit overhead
if all I want is to fill a DB object.
But I can also understand that you don't want to duplicate any code from
Rose::HTML to
Rose::DB.
So, I will continue to use my own conversion method -- at least until I am
ready for
Rose::HTML -- which might be not too far away after all ;-).
Thanks for the clarification
