              cng : create base class for your forms, and set 
                    widget_name_space there.
              cng : Don't forget field_name_space while you're at it. You may 
                    well want to customize (or create new) field types as well
    bentglasstube : ah yeah that makes sense, I've been at it too long today 
                    and not thinking of the obvious solution
              cng : :-D
              cng : I went through same process late last year ;-)
    bentglasstube : one problem I will have with that is that some of my 
                    forms use HTML::FormHandler and some use 
                    HTML::FormHandler::Model::DBIC
              cng : Two base classes, second inherits first; "your" classes 
                    inherit one of them
              cng : I've got ::Form::Base and Form::DBIC::Base
              cng : You can guess where my form classes go ;-)
    bentglasstube : and ::Form::DBIC::Base inherets from ::Form::Base or just 
                    from ::HTML::FormHandler::Model::DBIC directly?
              cng : inherits Form::Base
    bentglasstube : I see.  How does it get the goods from Model::DBIC then, 
                    as a role or something?
              cng : extends  'CNG::HTML::FormHandler::Form::Base'; with   ( 
                    'HTML::FormHandler::TraitFor::Model::DBIC'  );
    bentglasstube : ah, okay, that was the missing link
    bentglasstube : thanks so much for your help
              cng : Technically, I do this: with   ( 
                    'HTML::FormHandler::TraitFor::Model::DBIC'  =>  { 
                    -excludes => 'schema' }); # we provided our own in 
                    :::Form::Base
              cng : I needed `schema` in some custom fields used in 'gerneic' 
                    forms
    bentglasstube : right, I don't think I'll be to that level just yet
              cng : No, which is why first example had that removed. But also 
                    included it since I can imagine it being common problem.
