The above example is from the documentation, the result is the
`else' redirection. I tried my own code also.  params->user is
empty, in fact if I dump all `params' its empty.
Interesting.  Can you dump the request object returned by the
'request' keyword so we can see what Dancer got?

Hmm.  It looks like the HTTP body contains content, but presumably
hasn't been parsed yet.
Are you able to test against Perlover's pull request:
https://github.com/sukria/Dancer/pull/702
I'd be interested to know if that helps or not.  From the dump above,
it looks like the HTTP headers have been parsed already, so I'm not
convinced it should make any difference.
So, I finally got around to this: I can report that Perlover's version fixes the issue with POSTed params.  

Thanks,
