Sorry to take so long to reply. I may not be the best person, either, as this is a technique I have never used before. As a result, everything here is "I believe" and may not be reliable. I'd be interested in any corrections.

I think you are right that it is simply the overriding of Dancer's existing code. I was getting data out of Dancer by a far more complicated route, but eventually there were only four lines that I incorporated. The first was the call in the code I am developing that became request->address instead of ${request->env}{REMOTE_ADDR}. The second was the three lines

local *Dancer2::Core::Request::address = sub {
    return '127.0.0.2';
};

that went into the test file. This resulted in Dancer behaving according to the hard coded IP addresses in the test file instead of the IP address of the machine running the tests. Everything in MY garden is roses, but I offer no warranties regarding yours!

John Davies
