Plack::App::WrapCGI3pm

Usage

  use Plack::App::WrapCGI;
  my $app = Plack::App::WrapCGI->new(script => "/path/to/script.pl")->to_app;
  # if you want to execute as a real CGI script
  my $app = Plack::App::WrapCGI->new(script => "/path/to/script.rb", execute => 1)->to_app;

Overview

Plack::App::WrapCGI compiles a CGI script into a PSGI application using CGI::Compile and CGI::Emulate::PSGI, and runs it with any PSGI server as a PSGI application.

See also Plack::App::CGIBin if you have a directory that contains a lot of CGI scripts and serve them like Apache's mod_cgi.

Methods

new

  my $app = Plack::App::WrapCGI->new(%args);

Creates a new PSGI application using the given script. %args has two parameters:

script

The path to a CGI-style program. This is a required parameter.

execute

An optional parameter. When set to a true value, this app will run the script with a CGI-style "fork"/"exec" model. Note that you may run programs written in other languages with this approach.
