Please, don't mixup things. You have two issues:

1. You want a smart route handler that can match any path requested and
serve the appropriate content (retreived from a database), depending on
the path. You can't do that with a token-pattern match.

If you want to write a "catchall" route handler, you have to use a
regexp-pattern like the following:

    get r('/(.*)') => sub  { 
        my $path = request->path;
        # ... do what you want with $path
    };

2. Your static files are not served 

This is not a Dancer issue, this is a configuration issue. First of all,
monitor your Apache access/error logs when you hit your app, and look
for the reason of the 404.

Maybe Apache doesn't pass the baton to Dancer when it's a static file
that is requested, and maybe your DocumentRoot points to a bad
location...

It can come from many, many reasons, and it's quite impossible for us,
on the mailing list, to debug your apache installation.

But please, when you write a mail with a request for help on that
mailing list, try to focus on one problem at a time, mixing up different
issues in the same mail is hard to follow... and to help ;)

Happy dancing.
