in reply to NGINX Unit + PSGI + Perl

The regular build instructions for Perl were a wash for me: http://unit.nginx.org/installation/. My guess is that something about the darwin verison of Perl I have made it impossible for the configure to find/use and I didn't want to mess with it or try to perlbrew it to see if worked better.

This, however, seems to install fine and easily: https://github.com/skaji/nginx-unit-example-perl. I'm not going to mess around more tonight but the following got it together in a standalone dir. 

git clone git@github.com:skaji/nginx-unit-example-perl.git
cd nginx-unit-example-perl/
./build.sh
#    perl 5.26.1 to ./perl/bin/perl
#    nginx unit to ./unit/build/unitd
/unit/build/unitd --modules ./unit/build --no-daemon
# ...
2019/02/23 00:41:35 [info] 85210#15065386 unit started

    Thanks! I got it to work on CentOS7. Here are my steps:

    sudo su -

    [download]
    Create /etc/yum.repos.d/unit.repo: 
    [unit]
name=unit repo
baseurl=https://packages.nginx.org/unit/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

    [download]
    Install unit and unit-perl 
    yum install -y unit unit-perl

    [download]
    In /etc/unit/ create two files:

    start.json 
    {
   "type": "perl",
   "processes": 5,
   "script": "/etc/unit/app.psgi"
}

    [download]
    app.psgi 
    use strict;
use warnings;
use Plack::Builder;

my $app = sub {
    my $env = shift;
    [200, [], ["Hello world from PSGI!\n"]];
};

builder {
    enable 'ContentLength';
    $app;
};

    [download]
    Then start unit: 
    service unit start

    [download]
    Configure unit using the following commands: 
    curl -X PUT --data-binary @/etc/unit/start.json --unix-socket /var/run
+/control.unit.sock http://localhost/config/applications/psgiapp
curl -X PUT --data-binary '{"application":"psgiapp"}' --unix-socket /v
+ar/run/control.unit.sock 'http://localhost/config/listeners/*:8000'

    [download]
    .. and check the resulting config: 
    curl --unix-socket /var/run/control.unit.sock http://localhost/

    [download]
    ... and finally do the Hello World test: 
    curl -v http://127.0.0.1:8000/

    [download]
    Voila!

      The question is now, how do you get a Mojolicious::Lite app to work ?
