Is that correct ?
Pretty much. Except its much more common to see something like nginx acting as the proxy than Apache due to nginx's lighter footprint and better handling of large numbers of concurrent connections. If you are writing a Perl (5) web app these days, you should probably write it using Plack/PSGI compatible framework (dancer, mojo, catalyst etc) and run it under something like starman behind nginx (or apache or any other http proxy that you prefer). If you do not wish to use a framework, then just write it in plain Plack/PSGI. Regards, Michael Schout
