using HTML::FillInForm with CGI::Application

HTML::FillInForm provides an excellent tool for easily displaying pages back to users with error information. Cees shared a nice example of how he integrates this module into his applications on the mailing list (Mar 21, 2005).

This module is integrated into CGI::Application::Plugin::ValidateRM for redisplaying pages which fail validation.

Sometimes it's useful to use the module outside of form validation, such as filling an edit form with contents of a database query. We also provide a shortcut for direct use as well with CGI::Application::Plugin::FillInForm.
