I suspect so as well. It would appear people are making a gratuitous usage of Dancer in many instances which brings about really weird situations. Often times it's a bug, or a mis-feature (so to speak) but I'm beginning to see more and more incorrect (or, I should probably say, overtly-complex) usages of Dancer. I think this is also why you're seeing relatively little participation from the core team in the mailing list in general. We actually look sometimes at questions with a puzzled face, "how did they reach that?", unable to answer. My goal in the mailing list now is to clean up everything. Generally everything should be either a mis-usage, or a bug, or a question that has a simple answer ("how do I...?"). Hopefully I'll be able to answer as many emails as possible and direct people to the right direction. Regarding your predicament, it is well ongoing and we should certainly figure this out. It does trouble me quite a bit that someone is heavily building (and counting) on Dancer but has a hard time deploying their situation. I'll try and read your explanations (thank you for including them!) later today and provide you with an answer. However, you could help us quite a bit by going over the deployment document and telling us what's not right about it for you. Either your situation doesn't exist or the instructions are incorrect. It would really benefit everyone to incorporate your situation and needs so the next person would not have to face the obstacles you've faced. And thanks for understanding, and being supporting, and respectful. :) S.
