Dear all, please apologize if these are very stupid questions. We have a couple of catalyst web apps running under apache/mod_perl, and we usually test the apps during development using the script/myapp_server.pl script. I'd like to test the upcoming release, to make sure everything runs smoothly and check everything well in advance of a future upgrade of Catalyst::Runtime on our production servers. So I've downloaded the most recent version (5.89002) and installed it on a local prefix ($HOME/lib). Question 1: how to I tell my local checkout of the web app to use $HOME/lib/share/perl/5.10.1/Catalyst.pm instead of the system's /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/Catalyst.pm? I've edited myapp_server.pl and added use lib "/home/fernan/lib"; but upon firing the server using myapp_server.pl, I still see: myapp powered by Catalyst 5.80031 Question 2: I'm at a loss with regards to PSGI, Plack et al. I've read the docs at http://plackperl.org/, but I'm still not figuring our what this is all about. Should I care? Would this affect how I'm currently deploying my catalyst apps (apache/mod_perl)? Should I change (e.g. for better performance)? I'd appreciate if someone can explain in one or two sentences what plack/psgi is and/or why I should care, or perhaps point me in the right directions? Thanks a lot. And as always, many thanks for such a great framework! -- fernan _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
