Dave,

Yes, HTML::Widget seems to be in limbo at the moment.
It was originally written by sri, and I took it over when he no longer
had use for it.
I'm not interested in developing it further, but there are several
other people with permissions to make changes, and should anyone else
wish to contribute, they should connect to #catalyst on irc.perl.org
and ask an admin.

I've just made public my intended replacement, called HTML::FormFu.
It's documentation is a little lacking at the moment, but that will
get dealt with.
There are more details on how to get the files, in the email titled
"HTML::FormFu files", which I posted to the list today.

Could you expand on that any further, and I'll see it it's anything
I've already dealt with?

Cheers,
Carl
