workings of HTML::FormHandler::Wizard

Hi, I'd like to use the wizard, but I'm not sure of how it works.
This is what I think it does:
- The wizard is a subclass of the HTML::FormHandler. So all functionality is the same.
- The wizard adds "pages". Fields are attached to a page. Switching means setting fields
to active or inactive. - One can switch between pages by running the method "process" with param "page_num".
my $wizard = HTML::FormHandler::Wizard::Test->new();
#params is empty. page_num "1" is assumed, but not validated: first page appears
$wizard->process(params => {});
print $wizard->render();
#page_num is "1", but validation fails: first page appears with errors
$wizard->process(params => { page_num => 1 });
print $wizard->render();
#page_num is "1", validation successfull: second page appears
$wizard->process(params => { page_num => 1, name => "Nicolas" });
print $wizard->render();
These things are strange:
- before calling "process", only field page_num is active.
- when page_num is not set, first page is assumed but not validated. But when you
set page_num to 1, it is validated? - validation errors are shown, but filled in values do not appear in the form.
I also tried using the method "run", but without effect.
Thanks in advance
