FTR, my code is a few lines shorter than the LWP example zentara gave, does more (meaning it's more verbose than necessary), and doesn't use the problematic CGI->Vars which joins multi-values with null bits which aren't considered/handled in the example.

Personally, I wouldn't be looking to use CGI or PSGI.

Installing and invoking either behemoth to decode headers and post data, only to then exactly re-encode them for the forwarded request seems a futile exercise, when you can easily arrange for most serious webservers to re-write or re-direct the url without need for any code. And the very definition of technical debt.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
