If I didn't know Plack, no, but I do (and am trying to improve my knowledge in the area) so, yes. PSGI middlewares (Plack::Middleware) for example add a huge amount of drop-in utility that otherwise range from difficult to dirty to hack up in a hand rolled version built for a single purpose. The script could proxy or not by a map of URLs, do custom authentication in front of some, run an arbitrary number of other apps/CGIs (Catalyst/Dancer/PHP/Whatever) alongside a proxy (which would require more than a one liner in this case), display show|hide timing/debug/env in the page with JS. Each addition being one to five or six new lines of code. You also get multiple deployment options, uWSGI, Starman, Twiggy, FCGI, and several more.

Nothing wrong with bare bones Perl. Kits like Plack give you easy room for growth and adjustment.
