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.
