[dancer-users] Using Dancer::Exception -- searching for best patterns

[Hermann Calabria]

I took a look at your module and really like your work, thank you.  You also 
inspired me to take a closer look at D2 and I now see there's little point 
in refactoring our entire D1 app to handle exceptions "properly", because 
the refactor would be just another kludge.  The better course of action 
appears to be to plan an eventual migration to D2, and use 
Dancer2::Plugin::LogReport.

I wrote (with a little help) Dancer2::Plugin::LogReport for a
comprehensive and easy way to do this and a bunch of other stuff, whilst
keeping code to a minimum. I'm just about to post an article to the
mailing list about it.

I realise you're using Dancer1, but you might like to look at the
techniques involved, or even consider porting it to Dancer1 if it would
be of benefit to you.

That's exactly the idea behind the module - I got very bored writing
code similar to that in your examples.
