I have my controller "use" a form module.  So that same module is
usable outside of Catalyst.

Here's one of my "edit" controllers:

sub edit : Local {
    my ( $self, $c, $id ) = @_;

    # Create a new form object
    # redirect to list action if invalid $id is provided

    $c->stash->{form} = App::Form::Admin::Organization->new( $id ) or
        return $c->internal_redirect(
            'list',
            { message => 'Invalid Organization Selected' },
        );


    # validate and create or update

    $c->stash->{form}->update_from_form( $c->req->parameters )
        if $c->form_posted;
}
