• settings vs vars Settings persist for the life of the app, while vars vanish when the request has completed.
• naming your settings: Dancer::Config defines a group of settings which Dancer uses. If you're developing a web app using Dancer, it's wise to prepend all your settings with your webapp's package namespace. For example, rather than set data => { my => 'special', [qw/data/] }; use something like:

set 'MyWebapp::Foobar_data' => { my => 'special', [qw/data/] };
