NAME
       Plack::Loader::Shotgun - forking implementation of plackup

SYNOPSIS
	 plackup -L Shotgun

DESCRIPTION
       Shotgun loader delays the compilation and execution of your application until the runtime. When a new request comes in, this forks a new
       child, compiles your code and runs the application.

       This should be an ultimate alternative solution when reloading with Plack::Middleware::Refresh doesn't work, or plackup's default "-r"
       filesystem watcher causes problems. I can imagine this is useful for applications which expects their application is only evaluated once
       (like in-file templates) or on operating systems with broken fork implementation, etc.

       This is much like good old CGI's fork and run but you don't need a web server, and there's a benefit of preloading modules that are not
       likely to change. For instance if you develop a web application using Moose and DBIx::Class,

	 plackup -MMoose -MDBIx::Class -L Shotgun yourapp.psgi

       would preload those modules and only re-evaluates your code in every request.
