HTML::FormFu is not FormBuilder

If you want "Form" instead of "form", you need to set "form_stash" in
your Controller::HTML::FormFu config

see - http://search.cpan.org/~cfranks/Catalyst-Controller-HTML-FormFu-0.02000/lib/Catalyst/Controller/HTML/FormFu.pm#form_stash

I'd guess that if you do that, you'll need to change:
    my $form : Stashed;
to
    my $Form : Stashed;

(I'm not entirely sure, having never used that plugin)

Can you be more specific?

Have you checked out the css in examples/vertically-aligned-css/ ?
