Indeed this is a Starman question, processes names are setup in Starman/Server.pm ( function below ) setting $0 in parent and child.
No option allow you to modify the name at this day, but why not submit such a patch to Starman if you really need to replace it, by replacing starman by an optional value given in option for example.

I believe if your app was to assign to $0, it would change that, but that's a
bit dirty and hackish, I think.

As Sawyer said, it's really more of a Plack/Starman question than Dancer-
specific; I don't think we have anything in particular which could  help you.

If, however, we find there's an easy way for an app to tell Plack/Starman a
process name to use, it would be nice to be able to add that facility to
Dancer.
