Hi guys,

I'm quite new to Perl. I recently figured out that the CGI module is not really optimal it seems. I've come across this "Plack/psgi" alternative which sounds good.

By the way, I'm trying to avoid frameworks like Dancer/Mojolicious even though I may end up having to use that in the end, not sure yet.

Anyways my point is that, I've installed Plack via cpan, but I can't find the "plackup" binary on my system. I have to say that am I hosted on a shared host that uses CPanel.

I've read the doc I could find on plack/psgi but I'm still not getting exactly "how" to run these kinds of apps. Question :

- Is it just a matter of configuring my .htaccess to recognize the .psgi extension ?
- Do I really need to run "plackup" for these kinds of script?

I'm a bit lost honestly on how to go about running these kinds of apps on a cpanel shared hosting scenario.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
