ChangeLog:
2.0 - September 11th, 2007
Allow passing an arrayref of hashrefs through fdat (Mark Stosberg, Michael Graham)
Several new shortcuts: (Mark Stosberg)
Allow calling fill() as a class method as a shortcut.
Allow \$html as shortcut for scalarref => \$html
Allow \@html as shortcut for arrayref => \@html
Allow \*html as shortcut for file => \*html
Allow 'html' as shortcut for file => 'html'
Allow $q as shortcut for fobject => $q
Allow \%fdat as shortcut for fdat => \%fdat
In summary, instead of this:
my $fif = HTML::FillInForm->new;
$fif->fill( scalarref => \$html, fdat => \%data );
You can simply write:
HTML::FillInForm->fill( \$html, \%data );

Change log (yes, it really says 1.10, but this *is* 1.04. Probably typo.):
1.10 - March 8th, 2004
Now queries passed objects for form fields as it encounters them instead of
asking for all fields up front. This allows the type of object passed
to not have to return all the fields in a empty ->param() call.
(Dave Rolsky)
Generate XHTML-compliant tags (Dave Rolsky)
Documented behavior when passing undef values.
Fixed bug when HTML form has two or more radio buttons and second or

This module automatically inserts data from a previous HTML form into the
HTML input, textarea and select tags. It is a subclass of the HTML::Parser
manpage and uses it to parse the HTML and insert the values into the form
tags. One useful application is after a user submits an HTML form without
filling out a required field. HTML::FillInForm can be used to redisplay
the HTML form with all the form elements containing the submitted info.
