Spot on, Dan.
changing the code to
$self->session(calling_page => $self->req->url);
and
$self->stash(user => $username);
$self->redirect_to($self->session('calling_page')) if
$self->session('calling_page');
$self->render(template => 'tutorial/welcome', format => 'html');
works the way I wanted.
Many thanks,
Boyd
