Take a look at Dancer.

The available documentation is very extensive, with a nice cookbook covering multiple common tasks.

Besides the project docs, another great source of information are the four available advent calendars. Start with the first one and I'm sure that you will find it a great source of information and examples.

As to your setup, I recommend taking a look at this article covering the deployment of a Dancer web application with Starman and nginx. This could cover the setup that you have in mind.

Update: In the 2010 Advent calendar, there is an article covering the creation of a simple blog engine with Dancer. This could be a good starting point for you. Good luck with your project.
