in reply to plackup problem

You're just declaring a subroutine, there's no $app variable, which is what plackup is looking for.

Look at your example again:

my $app = sub {
    return [
        200,
        [ 'Content-Type' => 'text/plain' ],
        ['Hello World'],
    ];
};

Instead of declaring a subroutine, they are creating an anonymous sub and assigning it to the variable $app.

To make your code work, try the following:

my $app = \&app;

sub app {
     my $env = shift;
     return [
         '200',
         [ 'Content-Type' => 'text/plain' ],
         [ "Hello World" ]
     ];
 }

This version assigns a reference to the subroutine app to the variable $app, which is the code reference plackup is looking for.

    That works. But so does changing the $app line to this–

    my $snuffleupagus = \&app;

    From the docs–

    The last statement of app.psgi should be a code reference that is a PSGI application:

    The last statement isn't the sub declaration, it's the assignment. The variable name is meaningless. I personally prefer to just do an anonymous sub { … } as the last or only statement in this kind of test/one-off. But that’s only a style choice.
