NAME

       Plack::Handler - Connects PSGI applications and Web servers

SYNOPSIS

	 package Plack::Handler::AwesomeWebServer;
	 sub new {
	     my($class, %opt) = @_;
	     ...
	     return $self;
	 }

	 sub run {
	     my($self, $app) = @_;
	     # launch the AwesomeWebServer and run $app in the loop
	 }

	 # then from command line
	 plackup -s AwesomeWebServer -a app.psgi

DESCRIPTION

       Plack::Handler defines an adapter (connector) interface to adapt plackup and Plack::Runner to various PSGI web servers, such as Apache2 for
       mod_perl and Standalone for HTTP::Server::PSGI.

       It is an empty class, and as long as they implement the methods defined as an Server adapter interface, they do not need to inherit
       Plack::Handler.

       If you write a new handler for existing web servers, I recommend you to include the full name of the server module after Plack::Handler
       prefix, like Plack::Handler::Net::Server::Coro if you write a handler for Net::Server::Coro. That way you'll be using plackup command line
       option like:

	 plackup -s Net::Server::Coro

       that makes it easy to figure out which web server you're going to use.

METHODS

       new
	     $server = FooBarServer->new(%args);

	   Creates a new adapter object. %args can take arbitrary parameters to configure server environments but common parameters are:

	   port    Port number the server listens to.

	   host    Address the server listens to. Set to undef to listen any interface.

       run
	     $server->run($app);

	   Starts the server process and when a request comes in, run the PSGI application passed in $app in the loop.

       register_service
	     $server->register_service($app);

	   Optional interface if your server should run in parallel with other event loop, particularly AnyEvent. This is the same as "run" but
	   doesn't run the main loop.
