Hi! I have created a chef cookbook to deploy various web applications with plackup/psgi and Dancer is among them.

Anyone who deal with Dancer deployment can use it as follow:

psgi_application 'my application' do
      application_user    'user'
      application_home    '/home/user/app/MyApplication'
      script              '/home/user/app/MyApplication/scripts/my-dancer-app.psgi'
      operator            'Dancer'
      action              'install'      
end

This code will install dancer psgi application init script ready to use. Supported platforms are debian and ubuntu:

/etc/init.d/my-dancer-app start

/etc/init.d/my-dancer-app stop
/etc/init.d/my-dancer-app restart
