I understand the principle, it's the way that it's all hooked into 
DBIx::Class that I'm confused by. You seem to be using a separate shared 
Storage layer that deals with the database stuff (if I remember correctly).

Maybe my biggest problem is that I'm not familiar enough with Perl OO 
programming. I know there's more than one way to do it, but when you're 
trying to learn by reading other peoples code, and they each seem to do 
it in a slightly different way using different CPAN modules, then it 
makes it a lot harder.
