[Catalyst] Create Issue with CRUD application

[Blaine Everingham]

Hi,
I'm new to the Catalyst architecture and have been working through some exa=
mples to learn the ropes. However, in the application I am working on, I am=
 able to Update, but not Create a new record. I am using HTML::FormHandler =
and I believe that the inability to Create a new record has something to do=
 with my setup of the Form Model. Each time I try to create a new record I =
get the following error.
Caught exception in Signup::Web::Controller::users->add "Can't call method =
"resolve" on an undefined value at C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/DBIx/Class/R=
ow.pm line 1289."The error leads me to believe that the new_result is not w=
orking property with the Form, because if I remove the code and leave the "=
item" empty the form will generate but of course not allow the new record t=
o be added. Data::Dumper shows that the Item variable looks like this:
Item: $VAR1 =3D bless( {}, 'Signup::Web::Model::signup::User' );
Any idea where I have went wrong so that this error is created when adding =
new Records and not updates?
