Thanks for the info... I'm slowly figuring things out. I installed Starman on my test server. Moving on to the Perl application and then the apache 2 config.

See the 2011 Catalyst Advent Calender for my article on this. If you look at different Perl Sites you will find a number of good reasons you should use Plack. The short list: - Plack process servers are written expressly for the purpose of serving Perl applications. - Starman serves a web application as HTML, which can then easily be proxied. - You only need 2 modules on Apache to support it: Proxy and proxy_httpd. Optionally rewrite. - Your apache configuration can be as tiny as a single proxypass directive or rewrite rule. If your application can be made proxy aware (as catalyst ones can), proxypassreverse isn't even necessary. - By running your Perl process externally to the web server your webserver will start much faster. - By running your Perl process externally to the web server a problem with one won't prevent the other from loading. - By running your Perl process externally to the web server, when you need to restart your process server other things being served will be unaffected.
