Before dancer, do i need to go learn CGI ?
It might be worthwhile to take a look at CGI at some point to get a better understanding of what's going on under the hood, but, no, CGI knowledge is not required to use Dancer.

It can be useful at times to help understand why certain things work the way they do, but it's not anything you need to know for working with Dancer on a day-to-day basis.
