#Debian's #perl naming scheme is weird. If it's Foo::Bar, the package's name is libfoo-bar-perl.

I’ve spent three days or so experimenting with #Perl #Dancer2 and it has been great fun. I’ve taken my current project, which is Perl, CGI, Template Toolkit and MySQL and remodelled it with Dancer2, using Plack for local serving. I spent the first two days simply reading and re-reading the Dancer2 manual and FAQ to get a big picture in my head, allowing quite a lot to whoosh me, and then sat down. This is going to be a lot smaller and faster than my old CGI apps, clearly.
