• Posted Testing with AppVeyor to eserte

  If you ever wanted to test your CPAN modules on Windows systems without having an own Windows system setup, then you should take a look at AppVeyor. Basically it's something like travis-ci, but just running on Windows. Configuration happens in a YAML file…

• Commented on Is it possible to run Movable Type under Apache HTTP Server?
  Somehow I am missing the arguments why to avoid CGI (being old is not an argument)......
• Commented on Try the new perldoc
  There are already alternatives: Pod::Text::Overstrike and Pod::Text::Termcap in the podlators distribution. Together with Pod::Perldoc::ToTextOverstrike one can set the environment variable: PERLDOC=-MPod::Perldoc::ToTextOverstrike and get a different renderer when using perldoc. My impressions from using Overstrike: It's faster than the default pod2man....

  CGI still lives for the same reasons as inetd still lives: services that are queried only infrequently (with a "frequently" being defined by the sysadmin), keeping a process in memory is wasteful.

  Exactly. CGI is the only sensible thing for your checkers club's guest book page, so to say.

  “Use PSGI instead of CGI” is nonsensical. CGI is a valid option for deploying a PSGI app (as long as it’s been written to start up quickly – but that’s on the app’s author, not PSGI). C.f. Plack::Handler::CGI.

  The nice thing about using PSGI this way is that you don’t have to make a choice between CGI, FCGI, a standalone server, mod_perl, or what have you. You can deploy it as a CGI if that’s convenient. Or you can deploy it as a persistent process of some kind if you need or prefer it that way.

  Or blogs.perl.org comments, of which there are a handful per day. Man, I need to look at this CGI thing...
