I believe if your app was to assign to $0, it would change that, but that's a 
bit dirty and hackish, I think.

As Sawyer said, it's really more of a Plack/Starman question than Dancer-
specific; I don't think we have anything in particular which could  help you.

If, however, we find there's an easy way for an app to tell Plack/Starman a 
process name to use, it would be nice to be able to add that facility to 
Dancer.
