bionic (3) Plack::Loader::Shotgun.3pm.gz

NAME

       Plack::Loader::Shotgun - forking implementation of plackup

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.
