Plack and PSGI have opened the new landscape of Perl web frameworks and servers. When it comes to the deployment of your web application, it gives you so many choices that would even make your sysadmin mad. This talk will quickly walk through the PSGI supported web servers and case studies of website deployment with middleware configurations.
CGI::Application offers native PSGI support. The default query object for this is CGI::PSGI, which simply wrappers CGI.pm to provide PSGI support to it.
This is a survey of how people develop and deploy Perl web applications using PSGI. Collected results will be published and discussed in my upcoming talks at YAPC::NA and OSCON 2011.
One of the fun things about MetaCPAN is that we've split the project into two main parts: an API and a front end. What this means is that if you want to start pushing your code into http://beta.metacpan.org, you don't need to run a local copy of the API. You can just git clone the front end, install your dependencies and be on your way.
