[dancer-users] Help with a POST

[John Stoffel]

You need to build a web page with a FORM first, then submit the data
that way to the /user URL, so it can get handled.  

Try using git to clone this repository and use that as a base for your
playing around:

I don't have any working examples handy right this second...

Richard> work as a POST instead of GET.  When I do sub below as 'get'
Richard> it works but when I replace 'get' with 'post' I get:

Richard> --2015-08-06 13:52:05--  http://0.0.0.0:3000/user

Richard> package MyApp;

Richard> our $VERSION = '0.1';

Richard> post '/user' => sub {

Richard>    my $number_of_defined_values = scalar grep { defined } values %{$input_hash};
Richard>    $number_of_defined_values = $number_of_defined_values + 0;

Richard>    if ($number_of_defined_values > 1) {

Richard>         if ( ! $error ) {

Richard>         } else {

Richard>              foreach my $k (keys %hash) {
Richard>                  return "$k: $hash{$k}\n";
