CGI::Ap...n::PSGI(3)

💖 CGI::Application::PSGI — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manpage for CGI::Application::PSGI (yeah the header abbreviates it as CGI::Ap...n::PSGI(3) because terminals are dramatic like that, but the full name is the whole vibe). It lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, and it's genuinely so useful. Let's get into it. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

CGI::Application::PSGI — a PSGI Adapter for CGI::Application. that's it, that's the whole job. it's the little bridge that lets your CGI::Application app live its PSGI fantasy. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the whole setup, and listen — the way this is so easy? iconic. no cap.

### In WebApp.pm
package WebApp;
use base qw(CGI::Application);

# Nothing needs to be changed

### app.psgi
use CGI::Application::PSGI;
use WebApp;

my $handler = sub {
    my $env = shift;
    my $app = WebApp->new({ QUERY => CGI::PSGI->new($env) });
    CGI::Application::PSGI->run($app);
};

the big slay here? in your WebApp.pm — nothing needs to be changed. literally nothing. your existing app stays exactly as it is. you just write an app.psgi, use both modules, and build a $handler sub that grabs $env, makes a WebApp with QUERY set to CGI::PSGI->new($env), and hands the whole thing to CGI::Application::PSGI->run($app). that's the entire ritual. 🧚✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

CGI::Application::PSGI is a runner — its whole purpose is to run a CGI::Application application as a PSGI application. so instead of your app being all CGI-flavoured, it gets to run in PSGI land. main character energy, honestly. 👑
