Plack Middleware that supports the subset of ESI (Edge Side Includes) commands. This middleware should make the website development that uses ESI pretty handy with Plack and standalone servers, and later deploy to the production using the real ESI web servers such as Varnish.

lopnor is working on a standalone DAV server that runs on top of Plack. I guess you can authenticate DAV requests with Auth::Digest middleware, and you can hopefully do more fun things with this.

Wrapping mod_perl in Plack

Another option is to mock your Apache2::RequestRec object using Plack. This is the road explored by Plack::App::WrapApacheReq. With very little work this enables you to run your mod_perl application with any Plack handler you want. You can run your application as a stand alone server or serve it with nginx trough FastCGI.

Plack::App::WrapApacheReq takes existing mod_perl2 handler application and mocks the required Apache2::RequestRec methods using PSGI/Plack environment. Absolutely wonderful stuff.

PSGI dispatcher app in Perl 6

You may remember the idea of dispatching HTTP requests with Perl 6 grammars. Turned out to be funny and interesting, but wait, what’s the big deal? What’s good about a webapp that runs in the CLI, and dispatches only the strings given in the source code? Yeah, it’s funny, but is it practical? Not quite. So here we go with something practical this time.
