Message-ID: The dotCloud presentation slides are in a Github repo at https://github.com/daoswald/dotcloud_talk >From last month: the Perl Regex tester's code is at https://github.com/daoswald/retester.git Don't expect beauty; the model module is pretty ugly with all of the Safe, Sys::SigAction, and so on hoops that it jumps through. :) You can use the Perl Regex Tester by going to http://retester-daoswald.dotcloud.com If anyone decides to try something fun with dotCloud please post here! And for those who missed it, I think I'll be presenting to Los Angeles Perl Mongers later in the month. Consider that an invitation, or fair warning.

If you want to use CGI, you would need to find a module that interfaces with Plack and emulates a CGI environment. It actually looks pretty simple. I found in the Plack FAQ the following: http://search.cpan.org/~miyagawa/PSGI-1.101/PSGI/FAQ.pod#I_have_a_CGI_or_mod_perl_application_that_I_want_to_run_on_PSGI/Plack._What_should_I_do? ("I have a CGI or mod_perl application that I want to run on PSGI/Plack. What whould I do?") So I think the answer is yes, use a module that emulates CGI with a Plack back-end. dotCloud should be able to host it just like any web app that uses Plack as middleware. -- David Oswald daoswald at gmail.com
