You're right, you're not using the Loader in your tutorial (I guess I was
confusing this with other Tutorials?).  TIMTOWTDI with the DBIC model stuff,
feel free to do it that way.

If it were me I'd depend on ::Loader and replace all of that manual schema
stuff with a simple create=static invocation of the loader.  Its easier for
a beginner following a tutorial, yet leaves a fully editable Schema for
further customization.
