Hi all,
I am using Dancer 1.3092 .  I can't access or use params for post routes, eg
----
post '/login' => sub {
    # Validate the username and password they supplied
    if (params->{user} eq 'bob' && params->{pass} eq 'a') {
        session user => params->{user};
        redirect params->{path} || '/';
    } else {
        redirect '/login?failed=1';
    }
};
This code works for me when used with (now-deprecated)
before.
I recall difficulties getting documentated examples
to work as advertised.
post '/login' => sub {
  if ( validation_succeeds() )
    {
        session user => params->{user};
        my $path = session->{requested_path} || '/';
        session requested_path => undef;
        session failed_login => undef;
        redirect $path;
} 
     else 
     {
session failed_login => 1;
      redirect '/login'
     }
Thanks Joel.  That doesn't work for me, but there is a 500 involved, so that
may be a separate issue from getting Dancer to grok params, presuming
validation_succeeds() is a Dancer method?
