Again, you still don't understand - once your CGI script is turned into PSGI, plackup can take over the web server interface, including the FastCGI interface. If you need .fcgi wrapper to be spawned from web servers, just put plackup command line call (or Plack::Runner or ::Loader) in the .fcgi script. > NB I use the following gitweb.psgi wrapper to run gitweb from "plackup" > for tests (after running "make gitweb", of course, and with appropriate > gitweb_config.perl, unversioned, in gitweb/ alongside gitweb.perl, the > gitweb.psgi wrapper, and generated gitweb.cgi): >> `plackup -s FCGI` makes your PSGI app a fastcgi handler using FCGI.pm, >> or `plackup -s Net::FastCGI` does the same but using Net::FastCGI, >> pure perl alternative. > > It is a pity that Plack::App::WrapFCGI / FCGI::Emulate::PSGI does not > exist, so that gitweb.psgi wrapper would not require indirectly > CGI::Compile. it's not a pity - it's the simplification by wrapping CGI environment into PSGI, which is a pure perl web server interface that then can be turned into ANY web server handlers including standalone, CGI, FastCGI, mod_perl and SCGI. -- Tatsuhiko Miyagawa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
