Hey Dave. :)

I will probably mention a few things here you might like and a few things you might not.

In a nutshell: this is fixed in Dancer 2, and it might be fixed in Dancer 1 at some point.

Not in a nutshell: this is actually a very known and painful issue. It's indeed a Dancer problem, and not a Plack one. This is also one of the reasons Dancer 2 got started in the first place. One of the design decisions of Dancer 1 leads to this problem and Dancer 2 was created out of proper design to set this (and other side-effects) straight. This means that Dancer 2 will definitely not suffer this malady, from the get-go.

There is a proposed community patch for this (and a fork carrying this patch) but we found it a bit tricky and somewhat unclean and haven't merged it in yet. If you have the time (and inclination) contact me on this issue. I'd love help with reviewing and cleaning it up so we could actually merge this.

Sorry for this, and hope we could settle it as soon as possible.

I was disappointed to read this in Dancer::Deployment:

 NOTE: Only a single Dancer application can be deployed using the
 Plack::Handler::Apache2 method. Multiple Dancer applications will not
 work properly (The routes will be mixed-up between the applications).

I've just installed my second Dancer app on the same Apache instance using Plack::Handler::Apache2 and I can confirm that the second app gets _very_ confused :/

I assume this is a Dancer limitation rather than a Plack one as I already also have a Catalyst app installed in the same Apache instance using Plack::Handler::Apache2.

So I was wondering how serious this limitation is? Is it something that could be fixed if a hacker (and, yes, I'm probably volunteering myself here) spent some time investigating the problem? Or is it a hard limit that we're never going to be able to work round?

Of course the answer I'd _really_ like is "oh, yes, that'll be fixed in Dancer 2.0" :-)

Cheers,

Dave...
