Kahlil didn't say each user needed their own cache, he was describing
a reason why a cache that doesn't clone the form object would fail.

Ok, but this is what I don't understand. If the form cache can contain just 
the form structure, with no other information or data or errors, then why 
can't 2 or more users use it?
(Something like the use of cached TT templates by all users)

A form framework has benefits, but it doesn't have to be used 100% of the 
time.
If the login form on all pages is static (just username / password
fields), you could probably hardcode the form html in your template
file.

Is it possible to hard code a form in a template instead of defining it in a 
configuration file and then use HTML::FormFu for processing it, for setting 
the constraints, the validators, filters...?

Thanks.
