[dancer-users] Help with a POST

Okay started over with Dancer2 -a MyApp and before making any of the
recomended modicifcations tested out the app out of the box with
richard at gemini:~/Dancer2/MyApp$ plackup -r bin/app.psgi and get this in the
browser:

<% content %>
Powered by Dancer2 <http://perldancer.org/> <% dancer_version %>

wget gives me this:

richard at gemini:~/Dancer2/MyApp$ wget -O - http://0:5000/
