I went to this example: http://perlmaven.com/building-a-blog-engine-using-perl-dancer and noticed that he put a get sub then followed by a post sub for the same page. Tried this and it worked and the form no longer puts the submited imput into the url which is my objective for using post. I hope that's okay.
