[sf-perl] why I love CPAN (and Plack)

[Tatsuhiko Miyagawa]

Very nice :)

Applying middleware to remote websites using Proxy app is probably one
of the greatest things you can do with Plack. You can also do the same
to your legacy app using WrapCGI, or with PHP FastCGI application
using FCGIDispatcher, etc. etc.

Mind if I "reblog" this on my Plack/perl blog, Michael?
