This is getting off-topic for misc@, but the Plack and mod_perl are fairly low-level so I don't think it's unfair to expect a reader who is converting from one to the other to be familiar with them. Then again, the PSGI spec is not incredibly dense. https://metacpan.org/pod/PSGI And the FAQ seems to answer questions expecting, what seemed to me, a reasonable knowledge level. https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/PSGI/PSGI/FAQ.pod > People who don't understand that are probably expected to either > figure it out for themselves, or migrate to some other environment > (which might account for some of the popularity of node.js, rails and > python). While the page at http://plackperl.org/ could possibly be a bit friendlier, it does have links to explain what it is and how it works, plus links to something like 18 higher-level frameworks that support PSGI, likely via Plack, I think the hope is more that you might find the Task::Kensho link off of the metacpan.org main page and from there follow the links to some of the many perl web development frameworks that exist. https://metacpan.org/pod/Task::Kensho#Task::Kensho::WebDev:-Web-Development (I am in the middle of doing this at work, so may not have a good handle on how someone new sees things) l8rZ, -- andrew - http://afresh1.com At the source of every error which is blamed on the computer, you will find at least two human errors, including the error of blaming it on the computer.
