I've taken a quick look at Dancer, haven't played with it yet. It 
certainly has some interesting things going on. I think when I play with 
the code I'll be aiming to pull some things into my cgi-app based 
superclass. I like the way cgi-app does things, I like the way Dancer 
simplifies some things. I like the statement from Mark (I think, correct 
me) that cgi-app is a good framework for creating frameworks. I'm 
building my own cgi-app based superclass for my software, I see Dancers 
simplicity will likely become a problem for the kinds of things I'm 
wanting to do, but that isn't to say that I can't incorporate some of 
the ideas into my superclass.
  Dancer recent came up on Bristol and Bath perl moungers 
(http://perl.bristolbath.org), Nigel mentioned a couple of other 
frameworks Mojo and Tatsumaki. I haven't looked at them yet, but if you 
are looking at Dancer, it's probably worth checking them out as well.
