Re^2: small project / experiment to learn mod

I think there are two issues here. I agree that going with an abstract standard is better than going with a specific product, when learning the API to write your code with.

In my case, I eventually needed to choose a specific product to install, so I had to figure out not the API but how to configure it and get my app running.

So if you learn to write against PSGI and write your application, then you still have the chore of choosing several specific products and getting it all running.

Absolutely correct. The difficulties arise when you find that you must change the method of deployment, or even when you find that your app must support more than one method of deployment simultaneously. These are realities that are now facing us with regard to both our new and our already-installed applications. Yes, as you say, we still have to make the technical moves. Nowadays we have a very compelling need not to be boxed-in to the moves that we have chosen to make ... no matter for what then-good reasons we made them. On both the client side and the server side, “the games, they are a changin’.”	[reply]
