Following Dancer tutorial here:

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Dancer/lib/Dancer/Tutorial.pod

I'm using my own sqlite3 database with this schema

CREATE TABLE if not exists location (location_code TEXT PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT, stations INTEGER);
CREATE TABLE if not exists session (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, date TEXT, sessions INTEGER, location_code TEXT, FOREIGN KEY(location_code) REFERENCES location(location_code));

My dancer code ( helloWorld.pm ) for the database:

package helloWorld;
use Dancer;
use DBI;
use File::Spec;
use File::Slurp;
use Template;

our $VERSION = '0.1';

set 'template' => 'template_toolkit';
set 'logger'   => 'console';

my $base_dir = qq(/home/automation/scripts/Area51/perl/dancer);

# database crap
sub connect_db {
 my $db = qw(/home/automation/scripts/Area51/perl/dancer/sessions.sqlite);
 my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:dbname=$db", "", "",
   { RaiseError => 1, AutoCommit => 1 });
 return $dbh;
}

    sub init_db {
 my $db = connect_db();
 my $file = qq($base_dir/schema.sql);
 my $schema = read_file($file);
 $db->do($schema) or die $db->errstr;
    }

get '/' => sub {
 my $branch_code = qq(BPT);
 my $dbh = connect_db();
 my $sql = q(SELECT * FROM session);
 my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql) or die $dbh->errstr;
 $sth->execute or die $dbh->errstr;
 my $key_field = q(id);
 template 'show_entries.tt', {
  'branch' => $branch_code,
  'data' => $sth->fetchall_hashref($key_field),
 };
};

init_db();
true;

Tried the example template on the site, doesn't work.

<% FOREACH id IN data.keys.nsort %>
  <li>Date is: <% data.$id.sessions %> </li>
<% END %>

Produces page but with no data. How do I troubleshoot this as no clues come up in the console/cli?

Thanks
