[html-formfu] FormFu::Model subclassing

[Carl Franks]

Hi Nick,

First place to start should be the docs for HTML::FormFu.
http://search.cpan.org/~cfranks/HTML-FormFu-0.05001/lib/HTML/FormFu.pm#SUBMITTED_FORM_VALUES_AND_ERRORS
That explains how to get submitted data.
$field->default() is only for setting a value before displaying the form.

What are you wanting your model to do / to interface with?
When you say the HashRef update() didn't work at all, what were you
expecting it to do? And what did it actually do, if anything?
HashRef's update() is just an alias to create(), and the tests in
t/model/hashref_create.t show that it does do what the author expects
it to do - which is to simply return a hash-ref of values.
