If I remove the above `prefix` line, the application works. However, the 
reason I have that line is because I want to accomplish the following --

I want my app to inherit from mydance. Then, assuming my app is at 
http://server/, if the user requests http://server/anything, it is 
served from the routes in app.pm, however, if 
http://server/mydance/anything is requested, then those are served from 
mydance.pm routes.

How do I accomplish the above?
