Hi, thanks for your feedback!
No, I haven't looked at the docs for Seamstress, just what I find clicking around in perlmonks. I was pretty overwhelmed by the amount of information out there and couldn't follow everything up. Maybe I'll have a closer look now.
One thing that might move me to try Seamstress is if there was a dummy application with a db back end that I could just take over and mold to my purposes. Is that what I'll get by clicking the view source link as you suggest? Going to check it out...
