[Catalyst] Catalyst - any good AJAX tutes?

[kakimoto at tpg.com.au]

hello, David,
   Sounds good.
For me, I have done away with html::Formfu, formbuilder and so forth
because my needs better met with manual old school html.

   Can you give us some links as a reference to the rest of us?


thanks

K. Akimoto
