Manually set up the form:

<form name="boldata" action="[% Catalyst.uri_for('/banpdfs/Create_bol')
%]" method="post"> <fieldset>
        <legend>Data</legend>


Manually set up the order of fields:

[% SET fieldlist = ['sh_name','cn_name'] %]


That reference my labels:

[% FOREACH labk IN fieldlist %]

I can expose the form field, finally:

[% SET f = form.field(labk) %]

<p><label for="[% f.name %]">[% labels.$labk %]</label><input type="[%
f.type %]" name="[% f.name %]" id="[% f.name %]" value="[% f.value %]">
</p>

[% END  %]

    </fieldset>
<fieldset>


</fieldset>


   <INPUT type="submit" value="get_bol"><INPUT type="reset"
value="reset form"> </form>

. . .

What can I do with C::P::Form::Processor (aside from trying to hook
this to my DBIC classes) to make this more... 'elegant'? ;-)

Thanks again.

Cheers,
