BookDB for Catalyst is done in HTML::Seamstress
I got HTML::Seamstress up and running the bookdb example. Thanks to Andy Grundman, I can commit to the examples directory on the Catalyst svn site so BookDB-Seamstress is available right here.

Converting it from tt to Seamstress led to a few improvements in HTML::Element::Library , namely the addition of iter2(), a more flexible routine for turning arrays of data into HTML list data, such as dl, ol, or ul.

I learned a lot about Class::DBI::AsForm in the process. That is a very slick module that is underdocumented and highly magical. I have pretty much decided to stick with DBIx::Simple for all of my database processing needs. #
