Firstly, have you considered using an existing authentication module, such as
Dancer2::Plugin::Auth::Extensible? This will save reinventing the wheel.

It sounds like you are initiating a new database connection for each page
request?
If so, that's very expensive, and not likely to be very scalable.

If you still decide to do it this way, then you could save the database
connection
using var and then read that value later:
var mydb => $db;
...
my $db = var 'mydb';
