Ok.

This is exactly the type of answer I was NOT looking for.

While I believe that your links may contain the answer I have already proven to myself beyond any doubt that I am too stupid to properly understand them...

Here is my app: 

#!/home/mh/perl514/bin/plackup -s FCGI --listen /tmp/fcgi.sock --daemo
+nize --nproc 10 

use strict;
use warnings;

return sub {
   return [ 200, ["Content-Type" =>  "text/plain"], ["hi"] ];
}

Started on it's own it actually works - it starts a web-server on port 5000 that delivers the proper result.

But how to make this work in Apache?

I have put this app as "app.psgi" in /usr/lib/cgi-bin and this is my apache-config: 

 ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
        <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
                AllowOverride None
                Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
                AddHandler fcgid-script .psgi
        </Directory>

Now what happens is that when I try point my browser to the plack-app apache I get an internal server error.

The plack-app actually is launched (there is a process visible), but it seems to me that the plack-app and apache cannot communicate as I can see in the error log that fcgid reports a read timeout and the really weird thing is that I have this line in the error log HTTP::Server::PSGI: Accepting connections at http://0:5000

So to me it seems as if Plack is not aware that it runs under apache for some reasons...

The beer is still for grabs...

    When the kernel honors a #! line, it only handles up to 1 argument. It certainly isn't portable to put so many options on your #! unless some non-standard method (not the Unix kernel) is doing the exec.

      Fair enough.

      I was only trying what I had gathered from a previous posting.

      The main question remains: How is it done properly?

        If what tye is saying has merit, since plackup is all of 9 lines, you could use 

        #!/home/mh/perl514/bin/perl --
use strict;
use warnings;
use Plack::Runner;
my $app = sub {
    return [ 200, [ "Content-Type" => "text/plain" ], ["hi"] ];
};
my $runner = Plack::Runner->new;
$runner->parse_options(
    qw{ -s FCGI --listen / tmp /fcgi.sock --daemonize --nproc 10 });
$runner->run($app);
__END__
