OK, things are getting weirder.

It's not Perlover's changes per se that fixed the issue.  I'm still debugging,
but near as I can tell, the issue is related to this...

In my vanilla cgi application, I have my homegrown objects like:

Vanilla::Foo
Vanilla::Bar

etc. In my Dancer application's lib directory I had copied them over like:

lib/
  App.pm
  Vanilla/
    Foo.pm
    Bar.pm

and so forth where, App.pm is my main file. App.pm calls 'Vanilla::Foo', 
'Vanilla::Bar', &c.  It is at this point that I can't use POSTed params. 
So in the course of debugging I rearranged my directory structure to be 
like:

lib/
  App.pm
  Foo.pm
  Bar.pm

and I consequently changed App.pm to now call 'Foo', 'Bar', and so on. And
then it is at this point that I can see and use POSTed params!

I don't think its my Vanilla::Foo code, because I'm not using any methods --
just calling the libraries at the top of App.pm .

Does anyone have any idea WTF is going on? I'm continuing to debug, next step
will be to actually use the 'Vanilla' libraries' methods and see what happens.

Thanks
