[Dancer-users] Dancer on shared hosting

[Patrick Donelan]

If I rename dispatch.cgi to dispatch.pl that gets rid of the need for the
trailing '/blah'.

And if I change the default route to '/dispatch.pl/' then it matches - is
that by design? I expected the dispatch.pl to get stripped out before the
route matches.

Cheers,

Patrick
