FTP that file, chmod +x it and it works as a CGI script on any host. Although more realistically, take Mojolicious::Lite as an example, since I want to point out PSGI doesn't really mean Plack and whichever frameworks that support PSGI can come into play: $ cat > myapp.pl use Mojolicious::Lite; get '/' => sub { my $self = shift; $self->render(text => "Hi"); }; app->start; The myapp.pl can work as a CGI, but also as a PSGI handler if you deploy to platforms that only supports PSGI apps and *not* CGI, such as Heroku, DotCloud and Stackato. -- Tatsuhiko MiyagawaThread Previous | Thread Next
