Here is the dancer script:

---

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Dancer;
use Email::Sender::Simple;
use Email::Simple;

get '/email' => sub {
    my $success = Email::Sender::Simple->send(Email::Simple->create(
        header => [
            To      => 'naveedm9 at gmail.com',
            From    => 'foo at bar.com',
            Subject => 'hello',
        ],
    ));
    return $success ? 'good job' : 'failed';
};

dance;

The email actually does get sent when someone visits that route.  But
I get a huge Route Handler Error on the browser with a stack trace.
Can you try that code and see if it works for you?

Thanks,
Naveed
