Maybe I'm not completely grokking how people are starting new projects using Plack, but it seems like the way to go is to not use Plack itself to write the code, but to use one of the many web frameworks (Mason2, Catalyst, Mojolicious) and then use Plack to specify what webserver is used. Plack is just middleware.
Yes, but lots of people are using Plack to refer to the Plack family of stuff. Mainly the PSGI spec, the middleware and possibly one of the new Plack/PSGI oriented servers (like Starman).
I see the role of mod_perl2 going forward as not something that applications are written on, but something that webserver middleware interfaces with.
Yeah, that's what I see too. I'd like to see the performance of Starman vs mod_perl for normal applications (that don't need to do anything fancy with Apache). If it's anywhere close to mod_perl than I suspect lots of people would use it instead since it's much easier to setup and also much easier to package with your app since it's just a CPAN module. Would be nice to through FastCGI into that benchmark too.
