[dancer-users] Mysterious restarts of development server

[Hugues]

Hello Stephan

I use build in server  on port 80

./bin/app.pl --port=80 and I send debug on my console ( via ssh )

it is quick to start and easy to develop with it

The only one limitation I found is on ajax query ( it doesn't work 
correctly) and if I lost my console -  server continue to work, but no 
really... you need
to kill it

in fact this is only for testing not for production - use ngnix or apache
bye
Hugues
