OpenShift cartridge for Plack/PSGI Perl applications

This is a Web application cartridge based on Plack/PSGI for OpenShift. PSGI is an interface specification for Web applications written in Perl, and Plack is a PSGI toolkit implementation.

The big difference from the perl cartridge (officially supported by OpenShift team) is that the Plack cartridge allows you to run any PSGI server while perl cartridge is limited to Apache HTTPD + mod_perl configuration.

How to Use

First, create your app with the stable release. (Do not use the master branch because it may be broken when I'm debugging something.)

$ rhc create-app -a YOUR_APP_NAME -t https://raw.github.com/debug-ito/openshift-cartridge-plack/release_0.1.0/metadata/manifest.yml

Because this installs some CPAN modules in the cloud, it takes some time. Please be patient.

After that, YOUR_APP_NAME directory is created. Then edit app.psgi in YOUR_APP_NAME directory, commit the change and git push it. The PSGI application is executed in the cloud.

See README.md created in YOUR_APP_NAME directory for further details.
