[html-formfu] Processing a query

[Benjamin Martin]

Quick update on this...

I ran into problems doing my own QueryType module. (I am sure with abit 
more time, determination and understanding it could be addressed). For 
now I managed to work around the problem by using the query_type of 
'Catalyst' and constructing my own object to be passed to ->process

   $formfu->query_type('Catalyst);
   my $form_submission = MyApp::FormSubmission->new(
     formfu   =>  $formfu,
     formdata =>  sclar params,
     uploads   =>  request->uploads
   );
   $formfu->process( $form_submission );


This is a pretty hacky, as the FormSubmission object just provides the 
same interface the Catalyst query type uses to process submissions and 
so it works. (it was quick, easy and hacky because Catalyst and Dancer 
upload objects have the same interface)

Anyway, when I get round to it I think I will try to do a 
::QueryType::Dancer for FormFu, but for now this hack works.
