by default C-C-FormBuilder does the equivalent of this:

   $c->stash->{FormBuilder} = CGI::FormBuilder->new(\%attr)

If instead you want it to be $c->stash->{form} set obj_name config variable:

obj_name:
    Not applicable for HTML::Template view. By default, it is
FormBuilder. e.g. $c->stash->{FormBuilder} = $formbuilder.
