Hi Carl!

Why not accepts hashes from stash in condition_from_stash? I read the 
DBIC.pm:

     if ( defined( my $from_stash = $attrs->{condition_from_stash} ) ) {
         $condition = $condition ? { %{$condition} } : {}; # avoid 
overwriting attrs->{condition}
         for my $name ( keys %$from_stash ) {
             my $value = $form->stash->{ $from_stash->{$name} };

             croak "input value must not be a reference"
                 if ref $value;

             $condition->{$name} = $value;
         }
     }

and If I unterstod the dump of form object well, this limitation isn't 
neccessary, but makes hard to create a flexibile conditions. I created 
various configs like this:

<condition>
   <id>
     > 1
   </id>
</condition>
<condition_from_stash>
   name user
</condition_from_stash>

placed the condition to the form's stash (tried in Catalyst environment):

$form->stash->{user} = { '!=' => $c->stash->{userRS}->name };

commented out the croak line above, and I got the correct query:

WHERE ( ( id > ? AND name != ? ) ): '1', 'Administrator'

What's your opinion?

Thanks
