Dancer has been out a while now, and is used widely. Yet, I still continue to encounter major difficulties and puzzlement in deploying multiple Dancer apps. I don't believe I have particularly weird requirements, yet, I don't see much noise wrt deployment. That leads me to believe that I am understanding Dancer's deployment mechanism inadequately. Here is my general deployment scenario -- I have a Mac OS X server with Apache, and several "institutional" web sites served off of that. Let's call them /Library/WebServer/Documents/proj1 [http://myserver.edu/proj1] /Library/WebServer/Documents/proj2 [http://myserver.edu/proj2] .. I don't want to mess with the above at all, and want to tinker with httpd.conf as minimally as possible. I log into my account on the computer, use perlbrew to install the latest perl under /Users/punkish/perl5, install all my own perl modules including Starman, and make the following Dancer applications [1] /Users/punkish/Sites/myapp1 [http://myserver.edu/myapp1] [2] /Users/punkish/Sites/myapp2 [http://myapp2.myserver.edu] [3] /Users/punkish/Sites/myapp3 [http://myapp3.org] [4] /Users/punkish/Sites/myapp4 [http://myapp4.myapp3.org] [1] appears as just a sub-directory myserver.edu, not unlike proj1 and proj2. [2] is a sub-domain of myserver.edu [3] is a completely separate domain [4] is a sub-domain of [3] I also have the following as a common location for various JavaScript libraries, and a few css templates, I use for all my apps [0] /Users/punkish/Sites/lib [http://myserver.edu/punkish/lib] [<relative to any app>/lib] So, I can serve [1] using Starman with the following configuration ---- ## web.psgi use Dancer ':syntax'; use Plack::Builder; setting apphandler => 'PSGI'; my $htdocs = '/Users/punkish/Sites'; my $foo = sub { my $env = shift; local $ENV{DANCER_APPDIR} = "$htdocs/foo"; setting appdir => "$htdocs/foo"; load_app "foo"; Dancer::App->set_running_app('foo'); Dancer::Config->load; my $request = Dancer::Request->new( env => $env ); Dancer->dance( $request ); }; builder { # The following allows serving files from /lib # much like the Alias directive in Apache enable "Static", path => sub { s!^/lib/!! }, root => "/Users/punkish/Sites/lib"; mount "/foo" => builder {$foo}; }; ---- I can serve [2], [3], and [4] using Apache VirtualHost directive, but can I do that using Starman?
