Those two are not the only options.  Have a look at:
http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?form_processing

In my opinion the Catalyst controllers don't server any purpose other
than documenting how to configure a form processor for Catalyst.  This
should not require a separate module - as this additional layer only
adds friction (problems like exposing not exactly full API of the
original processor, lagging after new releases of the processor and
Catalyst etc.) - but I agree that this kind of configuration should be
put somewhere and should be accompanied by tests.
