I've just been playing with the "dancer" command again to get someone else started with Dancer. This made me remember some difficulties I had getting started with Dancer myself. It would have been most useful to have a flag that lets you choose an alternate templating system. The files generated for TT require enough changes to make them work with other templating systems that unless you already know what the differences have to be, it's somewhat difficult to figure out where to start. Also, I noticed that the generated main.tt page hard-codes the paths to the app. It should use settings.appdir instead. You notice this when you copy the web app to another path and re-launch it.
