Forgot to include the cpanm output:

# cpanm Dancer

No, cpanm, please don't try to install Perl 5.20 on this old box.

Another thought: If there's a desire to push Dancer forward in terms of 
Perl support, is there a good reason not to keep it on the Dancer2 line? 
  Isn't Dancer1 supposed to be in maintenance mode primarily, nice and 
stable?
