in reply to Catalyst + FormFu + Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst = Kablooey

Well, I've done some more digging, even up to creating a new catalyst project to see if I can figure out where the conflict occurs by adding stuff instead of commenting them out.

I finally decided that the problem was not FormFu, but Test::MockObject. While tests where I had Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst and Test::MockObject (but not FormFu) passed, if I tried to enter them with a debugger, allocating the mech object crashed.

So I tried getting rid of Test::MockObject, and considering I only needed to mock a single method, I was able to do it with an assignment to %INC and a sub MyApp::Foo::Bar {...} declaration.

I'll see if I can do all the tests I need in conjunction with Catalyst modules without using MockObject.

But I want to thank the people who drew my attention to FormHandler. I may not use it in this project, but I think I'm going to use it in something soon...
