Task::Kensho includes sqlite I think, but I'm not sure you have mysql dbi driver in your list. You might want to include it, as well as postgresql. Also, mongodb would be great. All these things are most useful with Dancer Dancer::Plugin::FlashMessage maybe ? :) Try::Tiny is also a good candidate.
Thanks for the suggestions.
DBD::SQLite, DBD::Pg and DBD::mysql were alerady part of Strawberry Perl. Try::Tiny is part of Task::Kensho I added the FlashMessage and also MongoDB, though I guess if you really want to play with it you'll have to also install the MongoDB server.
I'm biased of course, but I think Dancer::Plugin::Database would be a worthwhile inclusion, too - should add no extra dependencies, and it's good to encourage people to avoid reinventing the wheel when it comes to handling their database connections. (Having argued for my own module, it could also make sense to include Dancer::Plugin::DBIC for similar reasons, although that will have altogether heavier dependencies via DBIx::Class (unless that's shipped with Strawberry already, in which case it's no issue).) Kudos for working on this, by the way; it'll make it easier for Windows users to get a decent Perl and Dancer setup running with no effort at all :) Cheers Dave P -- David Precious ("bigpresh") http://www.preshweb.co.uk/ "Programming is like sex.
