  Description     : easy database connections for Dancer applications

  Dancer is a web application framework that aims at making possible to write 
  web applications in the siplest possible way.
  .
  Dancer::Plugin::Database provides an easy way to obtain a connected DBI
  database handle by simply calling the database keyword within your Dancer
  application.
  .
  It takes care of ensuring that the database handle is still connected and
  valid. If the handle was last asked for more than connection_check_threshold
  seconds ago, it will check that the connection is still alive, using either
  the $dbh->ping method if the DBD driver supports it, or performing a simple
  no-op query against the database if not. If the connection has gone away, a
  new connection will be obtained and returned. This avoids any problems for a
  long-running script where the connection to the database might go 
  away.
  .
  The connection credentials and other information neded when connecting is
  retrieved from the Dancer configuration so the code stays nice and clean.
