This makes sense, I suppose a template helper like 'url_for($path)'
would be appropriate. This could be easily done with a setting like
'application_root'.

Then we could have :

    use Dancer;
    set application_root => '/myappdir';

    get '/' => sub { # the home route };

    # in templates 
    ...
    <link rel="text/css" src="<% url_for('/css/style.css) %>" />

Tell me if this feature looks to solve your issue. If this is the case,
feel free to open a ticket on GitHub
