[dancer-users] Help with a POST

[Richard Reina]

Hi Andrew,

Let me answer your second question first -- as will bear insight to my
answer of the second question. I am using dancer instead of dancer2 because
I am too clueless to know any better. I will look to migrate to dancer2
although I am not sure what that entails -- hope my kids and wife remember
what I look like.

About how I call it. I am confused here as well. I am merely typing it in
the url. I am trying to create a new user login page that will ultimately
be a link from my home page.  So I will need for it to work as
mydomain.com/user. I am afraid I don't know how else to "call" it and
confess that I don't completely understand what "call" it means. I just
don't want to use GET as it makes the info appears in the url.

Thanks again
