Well, 'before' handlers are supposed to run before a request; given that
you're looking at a script where there is no request, I think them not
running is correct and expected.

It'll do the job, even if a little ugly.
Personally, if it's code that should run on startup before any requests
are processed, I'd just put it in the script as-is, rather than in a
before handler - e.g.
use Dancer qw(:script);
# my initialisation code goes here
# now declare routes
