[dancer-users] Question - par & dancer & strawberry perl (5.14)

[Zachary Zebrowski]

Hi there,

I want to write a simple dancer application, and distribute it as a
par executable.  (Dancer would be in stand alone server mode.)

So  I run dancer - A Sample to create a sample application.

I run in bin/app.pl in strawberry perl, and browse to localhost:3000,
I get the expected "it works" index page.

I update the MANIFEST file from .\MANIFEST to ./MANIFEST for par to
include the various directories.

When I build the par executable, I'm using the following syntax:

pp ./bin/app.pl -A MANIFIEST -M Dancer::Handler::Standalone

However, when I execute a.exe, and I browse to localhost:3000 , I get
a 500 error message instead of the expected index page.

(I also tried cygwin perl, but PAR::Packer died when attempting to
install, which is a known bug.)

Is there an existing cookbook way of using par & dancer so that it
would not have the 500 error message?

The reason why I'm doing it this way (and not deploying to a web
server), is because I don't have access to the remote server... I only
know it's windows of some sort, and I need to have as few dependencies
as possible.  A stand alone exe is ok.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
Zak
