[dancer-users] Problem using jquery UI in Dancer

[sbeck at cpan.org]

Yes.  Thanks to everyone who replied... I just got my app working as 
desired.  I had indeed overlooked the section on static files needing to 
be in public... one problem with having a tool which really is quite 
easy to start using is that sometimes you start using it before you've 
sufficiently digested the docs!  :-)

Thanks again to everyone.
