PSGI and Plack

The most exciting thing in Perl world today is PSGI

The homepage is http://plackperl.org/

I tried that today. there are some tips for Win32 user.
* Don't try to run under Standalone server, the alarm is not supported in Win32
* after install Plack (maybe notest install Plack), try install Plack::Server::AnyEvent or Plack::Server::ServerSimple
* at last, to know a bit of the Plack, cd the cpan build dir or download the tar.gz
C:\strawberry\cpan\build\Plack-0.9006-ZEaDbK\eg\dot-psgi>plackup -a Hello.psgi -s AnyEvent
Accepting requests at http://0.0.0.0:5000/
OR
C:\strawberry\cpan\build\Plack-0.9006-ZEaDbK\eg\dot-psgi>plackup -a Hello.psgi -s ServerSimple
Plack::Server::ServerSimple: You can connect to your server at http://localhost:5000/
127.0.0.1 - - [23/十月/2009 22:19:15] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 11 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 GTB5"
127.0.0.1 - - [23/十月/2009 22:19:15] "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 200 11 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 GTB5"
try visit http://127.0.0.1:5000/ then you'll get the access_log like above.

well, I think the Plack::Middleware::AccessLog should use &POSIX::setlocale(&POSIX::LC_ALL); on qw( .ISO8859-1 .ISO_8859-15 .US-ASCII .UTF-8 ) to avoid 十月 the Chinese.

you can try more with the all the .psgi files under eg/dot-psgi, and you might have some ideas to write a Middleware. :)

Thanks

miyagawa applied the patch with some changes and it works pretty well now.
Thanks very much. :)

Hi, thanks for the write up, but I'd rather want you to send patches or fork on github to fix those win32/chinese issues rather than blogging it. Or just let us know on #plack IRC channel.

(Blogs will be indexed and in the future people come to this page via google and might think "Oh this one is broken on Win32 ... i'd rather not use it": that's not ideal)

Thanks again.
