I'm no master, nor have I looked at FormFu. However, I'd suggest you look at the 
Catalyst::Controller::Rose stuff I posted to CPAN last week:

  http://search.cpan.org/~karman/Catalyst-Controller-Rose-0.01/

That has base Controllers for use with RDBO and RHTMLO, and I'd expect you might 
use it as a starting place for tying in FormFu instead of RHTMLO. See in particular:

http://search.cpan.org/~karman/Catalyst-Controller-Rose-0.01/lib/Catalyst/Controller/Rose/CRUD.pm

and the init_object() and init_form() methods.


That said, what exactly is it about RHTMLO that strikes you as less than a 
"clear separation of concerns"?
