This version of Dancer2::Cookbook is definitely outdated.

Yes, it's rarely a good idea to link to CPAN resources using a specific version number. Better to use:

My bad, sorry. Google pagerank led me to the outdated version. Unrelated: I am curious to know why Dancer2 is trying to open ./.dancer at startup? What can be put in it? stat("./lib", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0775, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 stat("./bin", 0x84e238) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("./.dancer", 0x84e238) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) I noticed this when I was using strace to find out where Dancer2 wanted to find my config.yml. For an app Name::Name2, in lib/Name/Name2.pm, the file needs to be lib/Name/config.yml not in ./config.yml. Now I see why: there could be multiple apps, each with its own config. As described in meta (but why say that it is global?): "Dancer2 will first look for the file *config.ext* (where .ext is the type of configuration file you are using) in the root directory of your application. This is considered your global Dancer2 config file. https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Dancer2/lib/Dancer2/Config.pod -- Thanks, Rick
