Can you use Dancer2 for multiple websites? Can it handle, say, 170 object requests per second? (which is what my main webserver does at the peak times)?
I looked at those templates .tt. I see how they have attempts at conditional HTML generation based on application logic. They reminded me about my attempt 16 years ago to use "Embperl" for algebra.com. Embperl was an attempt to make HTML websites with perl by "embedding perl" inside HTML. The result was disastrous and I completely removed and rewrote all emberl code to use mod_perl and CGI module. It turns out that HTML has a very minor and subordinate role to perl application logic, and putting "perl inside html" was completely misguided and instead I decided to "make html inside perl". Using CGI module of course. This was far more maintainable. Templating was indeed necessary, but I did it by using separate perl modules for "presentation layer", on websites where it mattered. Overall, I am delighted that there is a great and dedicated maintainer for the CGI module, this gave me a lot of relief.
