I'm not sure what to do with filename. I tried *.jpg and "*.jpg" and end up with: `*.jpg': not a valid identifier and `"*.jpg"': not a valid identifier, respectively.

Plack::App::File(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     Plack::App::File(3pm)

NAME
Plack::App::File - Serve static files from root directory SYNOPSIS
use Plack::App::File; my $app = Plack::App::File->new(root => "/path/to/htdocs")->to_app; # Or map the path to a specific file use Plack::Builder; builder { mount "/favicon.ico" => Plack::App::File->new(file => '/path/to/favicon.ico'); }; DESCRIPTION
This is a static file server PSGI application, and internally used by Plack::Middleware::Static. This application serves file from document root if the path matches with the local file. Use Plack::App::Directory if you want to list files in the directory as well. CONFIGURATION
root Document root directory. Defaults to "." (current directory) file The file path to create responses from. Optional. If it's set the application would ALWAYS create a response out of the file and there will be no security check etc. (hence fast). If it's not set, the application uses "root" to find the matching file. encoding Set the file encoding for text files. Defaults to "utf-8". content_type Set the file content type. If not set Plack::MIME will try to detect it based on the file extension or fall back to "text/plain". AUTHOR
