This definitely allowed my controller to pass validation. I think that
what I am getting hung up on more broadly is something you mentioned earlier:

This is what I am trying to do. I have been poring over the docs for
CatalystX::CRUD::Controller::RHTMLO, and looking at its source code, to
see whether I can figure out what adaptations to make to tie FormHandler
to C:X:CRUD. I am just unclear on the API I think.

Is this correct: To make a controller base class to use
HTML::FormHandler with C:X:CRUD, I can look at, for instance,
CatalystX::CRUD::Controller::RHTMLO, and just replicate its
functionality using Formhanlder stuff? I need subroutines named
form, field_names, all_form_errors, form_to_object, do_search, etc.,
because those are what CatalystX::CRUD::Controller expects?
