[Catalyst] FormValidator::Simple Sillyness

[Jason Crummack]

I currently use $c->localize in my templates to allow foreign language 
labels / messages, I struggled a little with HTML::Widget to do this 
where as with CGI::FormBuilder it was relatively straight forward, so at 
the moment ;-) I'm also a fan of CGI::FormBuilder.

It can also (don't want to start a flame war) generate simple javascript 
based client validation code, which could help on heavily loaded 
servers, client performs validation before post, but server also 
performs same validation.

Your probably right about being able to get the same level of control in 
HTML::Widget but for me it wasn't as straight forward as CGI::FormBuilder.
