Sorry, I have not been following this thread very much, so may be way off base.

I might have multiple forms for each table (or groups to tables) and they are more related to the specific request (update user profile vs. update user via admin interface) that to the table. Validation requirements might be different for the same field on different forms. So my form module names tend to be based on the request name. So in Catalyst, for example, my forms are basically found in $App/Form/<Controller>/<Action>.pm Makes it easy to auto-load the forms for any given action. > But of course, I can see the advantage of a totally different namespace for > Form classes.

I started using YAML files to define the fields and labels, but then I ended up with more places to define things than I felt was reasonable. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
