Dancer

Inspired by Ruby's Sinatra, it's perfect for building web applications with minimal-effort.

It allows a simple webapp to be created with very few lines of code, but allowing the flexibility to scale to much more complex applications.

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.
