</span>Dancer has a fairly small community, as compared to, say, Drupal or Rails. Now you’re filtering your expected answer so that only the subset of that small community that knows a non-core plugin can answer, and filtering it further to those who know of an example that does some fairly specific thing.<br>
<br>
There probably isn’t a single person on the planet with all of those qualifications. At best, you’re going to find a SimpleCRUD fan willing to write that code for you, out of generosity.<br>
<br>
Instead, start with stock Dancer, then pose *specific* questions when you get stuck, providing the code you’ve run into trouble with. Then at least everyone on the list could potentially answer your problem.<br>
<br>
I wouldn’t view SimpleCRUD as an easy on-ramp to learning Dancer, I’d view it as a potential code-saving device once you know Dancer and decide that your app does in fact fit its design language.<br>
<br>
That’s the problem with prescriptive frameworks: if your problem doesn’t fit the framework, you end up doing a bunch of work to hack around that framework’s design, wasting some of the savings it tried to give you.<br>
<br>
One of the beauties of core Dancer is that it is entirely non-prescriptive. It’s a bag of tools, which you can choose to use as you wish.<br>
