Dancer is a web application framework designed to be as effortless as possible for the developer, taking care of the boring bits as easily as possible, yet staying out of your way and letting you get on with writing your code.

Dancer aims to provide the simplest way for writing web applications, and offers the flexibility to scale between a very simple lightweight web service consisting of a few lines of code in a single file, all the way up to a more complex fully-fledged web application with session support, templates for views and layouts, etc.

This is the original version of Dancer, which is now in maintenance mode. This means that it will not receive significant new features, but will continue to receive bugfixes and security fixes.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install libdancer-perl
