Thanks for the positive response.  I have created
Dancer::Tutorial::WebSockets and requested a pull.
http://github.com/ironcamel/Dancer/blob/master/lib/Dancer/Tutorial/WebSockets.pod

It is meant to be a simple example so people can quickly wrap their
heads around it and get started creating some cool Dancer apps with
websockets.

You guys should take a look at this article when you get a chance:
http://showmetheco.de/articles/2010/11/timtow-to-build-a-websocket-server-in-perl.html

It briefly mentions Dancer, but the author doesn't show any example
code.  I think we need to quickly step our game up and increase our
presence in the websockets area.  I hope this tutorial can be one more
step in that direction, in addition to Franck's awesome chat demo.
