Known side-effect of the good design decisions Dancer1 took :). You
can search the Mailing list, this was discussed before.

The recommendation is to start each app with plackup using your
favorite server (I recommend Starman for this) and then use your
apache (or nginx if you can) as a frontend server for both apps using
reverse proxy (HTTP based, no fastcgi).

Current Dancer uses a lot of global variables and if you don't take
enormous care to switch the global configuration/status, those
problems will show up.

Dancer2 (alpha? beta?) is said to solve this problems, but I have no
personal experience with it so far.
