Dancer::send_file() gives a "No such file" error if you pass it an absolute path or one that is not directly relative to $pubdir.

Use the system_path info, as documented, to indicate you're providing an absolute filesystem path. It's done this way to ensure users don't accidentally expose sensitive info from their systems. e.g.: send_file( "/home/me/app/pdfbuild/foo-$user-$yymmdd-$hhmmss.pdf", system_path => 1 ); (Obviously ensuring those vars are sane, and don't contain anything nefarious.)
