Peter,
Carl's one hint at the issue, was more enlightening that
the entire CPAN site put together. I am not even
slightly kidding.
Why hasn't anyone posted a simple scenario (such as mine)
to CPAN, as a starting point to HTML::FormFu programming?
I am talking about a complete set of files not code snippets.
Like I said, I will post all 4 of my files (with explanations) on my site:
www.xm5design.com.
Hopefully, a new user won't spend a few days (just like I did)
decoding the (not very) helpful manual.
At least not to beginners and I consider myself an advanced perl user.
Sorry if I am stepping on anyone's toes here but it seems to me
that a tool, such as HTML::FormFu, should have a myriad of
examples. There is so much power there.

Hi George,
You can also have a look at HTML::FormFu::Manual on CPAN.

Carl,
The reason I created 2 separate .cgi is to illustrate the
possibility
of doing just that.
In real life, I might use a single .cgi (or not) depending
on complexity.
You have been a great help and I very much appreciate your
time.

Personally, for a simple example, I'd combine the 2
.cgi files into 1.
your simple.cgi is already doing `if (
$form->submitted ) {} else {}`
so the form may as well post to simple.cgi, and you
can just get rid
of the 2nd .cgi
Next, the initial CGI file: simple.cgi
======================
28
$form->indicator("textvar");
29 $form->process( $cgi_query
);
As it is, lines 28 is redundant, and line 29 doesn't
need the
$cgi_query parameter passed, as that .cgi is only
being used to
display the form.
And last, the processing CGI file: simple_get.cgi
======================
19 $query = new CGI;
25
#$form->action("/cgi-bin/simple_get.cgi");
26 #$form->method("post");
27
$form->indicator("submit");
28 $form->process();
Line 28 needs to be
$form->process( $query );
This will solve the initial problem.
Carl
