[Dbix-class] DBIx HTML forms

[James Masters]

Thanks for those 2 suggestions.  I have found 10 more possibilities more
naively - here is a list including your 2 (FormBuilder solo and FormBuilder
via Catalyst).  As you can imagine, this is rather confusing for a beginner.
I could, of course, read through the documentation of each one and try to
make an educated guess as to which one is best/easiest for me.  But from
bitter experience, I know that the one that is best used/sounds best may not
be the one that is currently recognised as the "one to use".  It would be
really useful if anyone can tell me at least which of these are not
suitable?

I couldn't find a module called DBIx::HTML which is strange but I found
DBIx::HTML::LinkedMenus
Convert SQL to 2 linked HTML popup menus.
DBIx::HTML::PopupRadio
Convert sql into a popup menu or radio group.
DBIx::HTML::ClientDB
Convert sql into a client-side db with keyed access.
