[html-formfu] Displaying 2 forms in the same page

[Octavian Rasnita]

Yes, something like that. And I think it could be also helpful if you could 
right about the recommended way to access the login_form's variables in the 
action used by that form (for example "/login").

Define $login_form = $self->form there also?
Or just get the variables using $c->req->param(...)?
