Plack::Runner(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Plack::Runner(3)NAMEPlack::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);
DESCRIPTIONPlack::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 to the method, 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 unnecessarily 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:
my $app = sub { ... };
unless (caller) {
require Plack::Runner;
my $runner = Plack::Runner->new;
$runner->parse_options(@ARGV);
return $runner->run($app);
}
return $app;
WARNING: this section used to recommend "if (__FILE__ eq $0)" but it's
known to be broken since Plack 0.9971, since $0 is now always set to
the .psgi file path even when you run it from plackup.
