Do not replace POST with the GET. To be clear, you need both route definitions.
unless you do something like:
any ['get', 'post'] => '/user' => sub {
};
but you will probably have to add some logic to check the request method so I recommend just having:
get '/user' => sub {
};
post '/user' => sub {
};

replacing post with get '/user' in my app does allow me to pull up the page but when I enter information into it and press Go I get:

File not found

Iceweasel can't find the file at http://0.0.0.0:3000/user.

    Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
    Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.

And if I enter incorrect or incomplete information into it I get a similar error which of course prevents me from showing the user necessary error handling like return "Last Name was not entered" etc.

You still need to have a GET route to display the form:

get '/user' => sub {
    template 'user';
}

Then when you submit the form it will go to your POST route handler.

I can't get the page to appear in the browser so I can't press the Go button.

Sorry, this is the void.

Richard,

Would you please copy template 'user' here?
If everything is OK, when you click on "Go" button, POST requests will be performed

Hi Richard,

Did you restart server after you changed GET with POST at form definition?

replacing the first few lines with:

<html>
<body>

<h1>Get in the game.</h1>

<form action="user" method="POST">
First name:<br>

I still get Error 404

Interestingly enough when I modify this http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_form_submit to method="POST" it does not work either.

2015-08-07 10:54 GMT-05:00 John Stoffel <john@stoffel.org>:

And I know there's a helper you can use to fill in the action so that
you don't have to update the URLs when you deploy it elsewhere.... but
I'm at work and not near my notes...

Ah... here it is.  Just do:

<form action="user">

And I think you also want to remove the <!DOCTYPE html> as well, since
this template will get embedded into alayout which will take care of
all that stuff.
