in thread CGI files and Dancer coexisting?

Well, as a matter of principle, I would never have anything to do with Plack...

I'm trying not to jump down your throat about this... Plack is the best thing to happen to web development in Perl since Sri coughed up a Maypole/Rails rewrite or Lincoln uploaded CGI.pm. It opens a thousand doors and normalizes dozens of disparate deployment strategies and allows, with ease, using incredible external tools and servers.

I know of several well-known company e-commerce websites that are still being handled, and handled quite well indeed, by “‘ordinary, boring’ CGI.”

Well-known implies everyone here will know them. Several implies 6 or more. Plain old CGI implies non-persistent execution. If you're really saying one or two you might have heard of that use CGI under persistent execution, sure. Otherwise, I call citations or it didn't happen.

    A-A-R-R-G-G-H!! plack != plesk !!!   D’oh!!!!

    Plack?!   Heck, yeah.   That’s how I do it, and probably how everybody else does, too.

    My bad-feelings about Plesk are what generated that (now deleted) “senior moment.”   And why my previous comments, also removed, made no sense.

    “It’s five o’clock somewhere,” and that somewhere is here.   Enough writing when I’m too tired to think ... it’s time for beer!

      ??? There is no Plack web interface. Plack does not even rise to the level of framework. It's nothing but a PSGI tool kit. Perhaps you could cite the package or code you are actually talking about.

        Exactly.   I s-c-r-e-w-e-d ... u-p and thought “Plesk” when someone said “Plack!”   :-X

        Duhhhh..... (my goodness, these toes are tasty!)
