[Dancer-users] Plugin::Database - suggestion to read username/password from a different file

[Nick Knutov]

Well, but from other side app can use some external http api instead of 
mysql, config file will contain some api key in this case, and config 
file can contain some other passwords, from smtp server, for example. 
It's not possible to move all passwords in such files (and it is not 
good idea anyway).

May be it's better to write more clear documentation about different 
environment' configs and use them as they should be used instead of 
implementing square wheel?
