Both forms have submit buttons but I am not sure how to make the POST route understand that the user is done with the form so that I can in turn make it save the data.
You can differentiate between submit buttons by checking for the name of the submitted button, just like any other control on the form.
If I've understood correctly, then I'd just have the one form, and use different submit button names.

Sent before I was finished. Gmail needs to take the send button out of the tab index!!! So provided that I have named one button with name="add_entries" and the second name="submit_entries" could i just do the following in my dancer app? post '/entries_form' => sub { if (defined param('add_entries')) { # the source of this submission was the add_entries button # qualify and summarize addition redirect '/entries_form'; } elsif (defined param('submit_entries')) { # update submission to make them final }
