2. What is Plack?

3. What is Plack?“Superglue for Perl 5 Web Frameworks and Web Servers”

4. How will that help me?

13. History...

14. Hello World

15. #!/usr/bin/perluse strict;print “Content-Type: text/plainrnrn”;print “Hello World”;

16. package HelloWorld;use strict;use Apache::RequestRec;use Apache::RequestIO;use Apache::Const -compile => qw(OK);sub handler { my $r = shift; $r->content_type(‘text/plain’); $r->print(“Hello World”); return Apache::Const::OK;}1;

17. use FCGI;my $req = FCGI::Request();while ($req->Accept >= 0) { print “Content-Type: text/plainrnrn”; print “Hello World”;}

18. package HelloWorld;use base qw(HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI);sub handle_request { my($self, $cgi) = @_; print “HTTP/1.0 200 OKrn”; print “Content-Type: text/plainrnrn”; print “Hello World”;}1;

19. All similarbut slightly different

20. Painful to support all of them 

21. There wasone common way to do all of this.

22. CGI.pm

23. #!/usr/bin/perluse CGI;my $q = CGI->new;print $q->header(‘text/plain’);print “Hello World”;

24. Works under... CGI FastCGI mod_perlHTTP::Server::Simple::CGI

25. CGI.pmmod_perl CGI fastcgiApache IIS lighttpd

26. CGI.pm?

27. CGI.pm? meh

44. That was 2008...

45. Gentleman thief & Double agentMiyagawa

46. Acquired a great idea from Python/Ruby

47. WSGI (Python) Rack (Ruby)

48. WSGI (PEP-333)

49. WSGI Python Frameworks • Django • mod_wsgi • Bottle • Paste • CherryPy • gunicorn • Tornado • uWSGI • Pylons • wsgiref • Flask • Google AppEngine

50. Django Bottle Flask Tornado WSGI middleware WSGI wsgi handlersApache lighttpd nginx mod_wsgi GAE

51. Rack

52. Rack Ruby Frameworks• Rails • Unicorn• Merb • Thin• Sinatra • Mongrel• Camping • Rainbows!• Ramaze • Phusion Passenger• etc. • Heroku

53. Rails Merb Sinatra Ramaze Rack middleware Rack Rack handlersApache lighttpd Thin Unicorn Mongrel

54. Perl ?

55. PSGI Perl ?Perl Web Server Gateway Interface

56. Interface

57. Interface

58. InterfacePSGI != Plack

59. PSGI application code reference $app = sub {...};

60. # PSGI Hello Worldmy $app = sub { my $env = shift; return [ 200, [ ‘Content-Type’, ‘text/plain’ ], [ ‘Hello World’ ], ];};

61. my $app = sub { my $env = shift; return [ $status, $header, $body ];}; CGI-like environment variables + psgi.input, psgi.errors etc.

62. my $app = sub { my $env = shift; return [ $status, $header, $body ];}; HTTP status code (int.): 200, 404 etc.

63. my $app = sub { my $env = shift; return [ $status, $header, $body ];}; Array reference of header pairs: [ ‘Content-Type’, ‘text/html’, ... ]

64. my $app = sub { my $env = shift; return [ $status, $header, $body ];}; String, array reference of content chunks, Filehandle or IO::Handle-ish object

65. That’s it.(There’s a callback based streaming interface as well)

66. # PSGImy $app = sub { my $env = shift; return [ 200, [ ‘Content-Type’, ‘text/plain’ ], [ ‘Hello World’ ], ];};

67. Now you’ve gota PSGI compatible application.
