Unfortunately Plack (and Catalyst especially) are a fairly poor
comparison to using mod_perl properly {unfortunately very few people do
so} I've looked at Dancer and Catalyst - both are OK at what they do -
but they don't really handle things in the really clean easy way that
mod_perl does {if you attach code to the right handlers/filters} meaning
chopping in and changing code can be quite difficult in them.
Both are good for simplish applications {yes and I've seen complex apps
written in them as well - but they usually need a lot more hardware
support than the equivalent mod_perl app to cope with demand}
Unfortunately writing good mod_perl apps is hard - and so few mod_perl
apps really make use of the underlying framework properly - effectively
using it for code caching and not much else

Moving your method handlers to the framework.
I like catalyst. Stand on the shoulders of giants. Mojolicious makes
me itch.

What is involved in porting an application from mod_perl to starman?
Throwing away logic and logical structure and replacing it with a much
less flexible approach...

We’re all about the Plack these days.
This.
We have moved entirely to
nginx (doing the ssl where appropriate) -> starman (which uses
plack) and Dancer2
Life is a LOT better
