Steven, I have met you at a couple of Perl conferences and know you know Raku as well. One thing that has always bothered me about PSGI, Catalyst, mod_fcgi, etc., is that I could never find a practical cookbook solution for a simple but working dynamic and publicly available https website on a real, modern Apache 2.4 server on a Linux bare-metal, sole user remote server. I would love to be able to have something similar for Raku, and there is Cro, but it so far cannot handle auto-generation of Let's Encrypt TLS certificates with a reverse proxy on Apache. As an alternative, I would be happy to run with a Perl solution iif it could handle my TLS requirement. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. BTW, I have publicly documented my current Apache setup (non-dynamic except for limited CGI use on a couple of sites). The Apache uses nearly the latest Apache and OpenSSL compiled from source. It includes multiple (15 or so at last count) virtual hosts (using macros for extremely easy deployment). It was last updated mid-2020 and I'll be looking to update it next year. It's on Github and I'll send the reference if anyone wants it. Blessings, -Tom
