in reply to no webserver(apache)? no problem! test .cgi with Plack/plackup

++ I'm commenting mostly just to bump this excellent piece of advice.

Since port is rarely important and I like to use this idiom in addition to running a traditional webserver on port 80, I'd shorten it to use the default port 5000–

plackup -L Shotgun -MPlack::App::WrapCGI -e "Plack::App::WrapCGI->new(script => shift)" [cgi]

–which lends itself to an alias–

alias pcgi='plackup -Ilib -L Shotgun -MPlack::App::WrapCGI -e "Plack::
+App::WrapCGI->new(script => shift)"'

Update: anonymous monk that replied is quite correct. The code, as is, is broken.

FWIW, that doesn't work for me

Plack: 0.9976

It has to do with string-eval and @ARGV being emptied
