Hi,

You can use something like this:

package MyApp::Controller::Test;
use base 'Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu';

sub action : Local {
  my ($self, $c, $template) = @_;

  my $form = $self->form;
  $form->load_config_filestem($template);
  $form->process;
  $c->stash(form => $form);
}

And you could access it at an URL like:

http://www.site.com/test/action/user

It will display the form user.yaml (or user.conf).
