NAME
Plack::Runner - plackup core
SYNOPSIS
# Your bootstrap script
use Plack::Runner;
my $app = sub { ... };
my $runner = Plack::Runner->new;
$runner->parse_options(@ARGV);
$runner->run($app);DESCRIPTION
Plack::Runner is the core of plackup runner script. You can create your own frontend to run your application or framework, munge command line options and pass that to run method of this class.
run method does exactly the same thing as the plackup script does, but one notable addition is that you can pass a PSGI application code reference directly with --app option, rather than via .psgi file path or with -e switch. This would be useful if you want to make an installable PSGI application.
Also, when -h or --help switch is passed, the usage text is automatically extracted from your own script using Pod::Usage.
NOTES
Do not directly call this module from your .psgi, since that makes your PSGI application unnecesarily depend on plackup and won't run other backends like Plack::Handler::Apache2 or mod_psgi.
If you really want to make your .psgi runnable as a standalone script, you can do this:
# foo.psgi
if (__FILE__ eq $0) {
require Plack::Runner;
Plack::Runner->run(@ARGV, $0);
}
# This should always come last
my $app = sub { ... };
