Dancer2::Core::DSL(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Dancer2::Core::DSL — it's Dancer2's Domain Specific Language (DSL), bestie 💅 it's literally the little toolbox of functions that makes writing Dancer2 apps feel like texting your group chat instead of, idk, writing Perl like it's 1998.

🎀 VERSION 🎀

This is version 2.2.1 ✨

💖 FUNCTIONS 💖

🌸 setting

Okay so this one lets you define settings and access them — same function, two moods, very versatile of it 🫶

Define a single one:

setting('foo' => 42);

Define a whole little pile at once:

setting('foo' => 42, 'bar' => 43);

And then go get one back later:

my $foo=setting('foo');

And here's the tea ☕ — if settings were defined, it returns the number of settings. Not the value, the count. iykyk.

🦋 set ()

Lowkey just an alias for setting — same energy, shorter name, main character typography ✨

set('foo' => '42');
my $port=set('port');

Not me pointing out that set does exactly what setting does — it's the same function wearing a different outfit 💀 so use whichever one vibes with your codebase.

And that's the whole page, bestie — written for perl v5.42.3, dated 2026-09-20, and honestly? Obsessed. Slay, stay hydrated, and go define some settings 💖✨
