I've just committed a fix so that Date::process() calls next::method()
Was is the Date element you were having problems with?

Just to clarify some things:

* Any plugin class should inherit from HTML::FormFu::Plugin - see
Plugin/StashValue.pm for an example.

* If you call $form->plugin(), if there's a 'name' or 'names'
argument, the plugin is added to that/those named fields. Otherwise,
the plugin is added to the form.

* If you call $block->plugin(), a 'name' or 'names' argument is required.

* $field->plugin() needs no name argument, it's just added to that field.

* Plugins on fields currently only support 'process' and
'post_process' - I'm not sure that supporting the *render methods on
fields is a good idea.
