+----
+
+For the curious, this new version of CGI::FormBuilder changes how it passes
+some values to the HTML::Template template. In particular, FORM-SUBMIT used
+to be just a string containing the buttons used to submit the form. With
+the new version, it's an array of strings, one per button, and the template
+needs to be written differently to deal with this. Oddly, the docs have not
+been updated about this. In fact, from all I can tell, it's a bug, since
+the array is not in the form that HTML::Template expects to receive it.
+Here's a simple test case:
+
+ #!/usr/bin/perl
+ my @fields=qw(editcontent);
+ my @buttons=("Save", "Preview", "Cancel");
+
+ use CGI::FormBuilder;
+ my $form = CGI::FormBuilder->new(
+ fields => \@fields,
+ template => "foo.tmpl",
+ );
+ print $form->render(submit => \@buttons);
+
+With this test case, it does not seem to be possible to write a foo.tmpl that
+outputs the buttons using the FORM-SUBMIT template variable.
+
+I was able to work around this bug by just not using FORM-SUBMIT in the
+template, and hardcoding the buttons (since they never change anyway).
+Nasty, but it should work. I haven't fully installed the new version of
+CGI::FormBuilder to test it, and it's quite possible that other changes
+in the new version cause other breakage. If you want to test the fix,
+it's in svn now. --[[Joey]]
