Awesome!  Will check it out shortly :)

I think an introduction to web development with Perl & Dancer for
non-Perl programmers would be a great thing to have - both for Dancer,
and for the Perl community in general, being a useful resource to point
newbies to as a "this is how easy webdev in Perl can be" - particularly
covering how easy getting started, templating, database access,
authentication, serialisation etc can be with Dancer and suitable
plugins.

I have no idea; I'd like to think so, though.
