.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Plack::Handler defines an adapter (connector) interface to adapt
plackup and Plack::Runner to various \s-1PSGI\s0 web servers, such as
Apache2 for mod_perl and Standalone for HTTP::Server::PSGI.
.PP
It is an empty class, and as long as they implement the methods
defined as an Server adapter interface, they do not need to inherit
Plack::Handler.
.PP
If you write a new handler for existing web servers, I recommend you
to include the full name of the server module after \fIPlack::Handler\fR
prefix, like Plack::Handler::Net::Server::Coro if you write a
handler for Net::Server::Coro. That way you'll be using plackup
command line option like:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  plackup \-s Net::Server::Coro
.Ve
.PP
that makes it easy to figure out which web server you're going to use.
.SH "METHODS"

.IP "new" 4
.IX Item "new"
.Vb 1
\&  $server = FooBarServer\->new(%args);
.Ve
.Sp
Creates a new adapter object. \fI\f(CI%args\fI\fR can take arbitrary parameters
to configure server environments but common parameters are:
.RS 4
.IP "port" 8
.IX Item "port"
Port number the server listens to.
.IP "host" 8
.IX Item "host"
Address the server listens to. Set to undef to listen any interface.
.RE
.RS 4
.RE
.IP "run" 4
.IX Item "run"
.Vb 1
\&  $server\->run($app);
.Ve
.Sp
Starts the server process and when a request comes in, run the \s-1PSGI\s0
application passed in \f(CW$app\fR in the loop.
.IP "register_service" 4
.IX Item "register_service"
.Vb 1
\&  $server\->register_service($app);
.Ve
.Sp
Optional interface if your server should run in parallel with other
event loop, particularly AnyEvent. This is the same as \f(CW\*(C`run\*(C'\fR but
doesn't run the main loop.
