NAME¶

Plack::Handler::CGI - CGI handler for Plack

SYNOPSIS¶

Want to run PSGI application as a CGI script? Rename .psgi to .cgi and change the shebang line like:

  #!/usr/bin/env plackup
  # rest of the file can be the same as other .psgi file

You can alternatively create a .cgi file that contains something like:

  #!/usr/bin/perl
  use Plack::Loader;
  my $app = Plack::Util::load_psgi("/path/to/app.psgi");
  Plack::Loader->auto->run($app);

This will auto-recognize the CGI environment variable to load this class.

If you really want to explicitly load the CGI handler, you can. For instance you might do this when you want to embed a PSGI application server built into CGI-compatible perl-based web server:

  use Plack::Handler::CGI;
  Plack::Handler::CGI->new->run($app);

DESCRIPTION¶

This is a handler module to run any PSGI application as a CGI script.

UTILITY METHODS¶

  my $env = Plack::Handler::CGI->setup_env();
  my $env = Plack::Handler::CGI->setup_env(\%override_env);
