SYNOPSIS
plackup -L Shotgun
DESCRIPTION
Shotgun loader delays the compilation and execution of your application
until the runtime. When a new request comes in, this forks a new child,
compiles your code and runs the application.
This should be an ultimate alternative solution when reloading with
Plack::Middleware::Refresh doesn't work, or plackup's default "-r"
filesystem watcher causes problems. I can imagine this is useful for
applications which expects their application is only evaluated once
(like in-file templates) or on operating systems with broken fork
implementation, etc.
This is much like good old CGI's fork and run but you don't need a web
server, and there's a benefit of preloading modules that are not likely
to change. For instance if you develop a web application using Moose
and DBIx::Class,
plackup -MMoose -MDBIx::Class -L Shotgun yourapp.psgi
would preload those modules and only re-evaluates your code in every
request.
