'value_name' must be an internal value then? I assumed what you wanted was
the 'name' attribute on the input tag. I would have to look at the code
myself to fathom any more, and I have to be in the mood for that :)

I don't see why not straight away. The HTML client shouldn't care how the form's
been generated. You could always try hand-rolling it with LWP, HTML::TokeParser,
HTML::TreeBuilder, URI::URL etc.
