Well, I wasn't meaning that kind of question but hey, I said "any
question you want" ;-)...
Seriously, this is of course a good question, so here is my answer.
I'm sure I haven't your experience but for me (and also for Peter
Karman, C::C::Rose author), the suffix "::Simple" (suggested by him)
means "Take all that [what already exists, i.e. Catalyst and Rose] and
make it simpler to use together".
In fact I don't even use its modules in mine since the goals are not
the same and the functionalities don't overlap. The key point is that
you can see it as the C::C::FormBuilder module reimplemented for Rose
(and that was really the case).
At first, on Peter's advice, I looked at C::C::Rose::* but I did not
found anything relevant for what I was trying to do.
I hope this answer your question.

I've seen you were coming to FPW2007 in Lyon, France. I'll also be
there (presenting this module) so I'm looking forward to meet you IRL ;-)
