[Dancer-users] sane error messages

[Mr. Puneet Kishor]

When Dancer came out, I exclaimed that "Dancer is a breath of fresh air in the convoluted world of Perl web frameworks." (see http://perldancer.org/).

However, there is still much to be done. Consider the error message below. What it really was trying to tell me what that I had a couple of tabs in my "development.yml"

Could the error messages be made more sane by default?

Many thanks for the consideration.
