[dancer-users] Before Hook hit multiple times.

And then, I raise the Dancer 2 flag:

If you mean Dancer 1, you're right, if you mean Dancer 2, you're wrong.

In Dancer 2, everything is scoped to the "app" it's defined, so doing that
is preatty easy with D2:

  package SomeApp;

  hook 'before' => sub {
  };

  # some routes

In this case, only the routes defined in SomeApp will have the filters
defined. Only them. For more details about that feature, I suggest reading
that article: http://advent.perldancer.org/2012/7

Wouldn't that be a perfect opportunity to try a switch to Dancer 2?

PS: you could actually do it in Dancer 1 with a test in the before filter
like so:

  hook before => sub {
    return pass if request->path !~ //;
    ...
  };
