Some yak have been shaved and the last minute bikeshed of renaming things in Plack::Builder was done, and now Plack and PSGI are uploaded to CPAN!
Some server backends like AnyEvent, FCGI::EV, Coro, Danga::Socket, ReverseHTTP and ServerSimple are removed from the core distribution and uploaded to CPAN separately. Actually there's no reason those implementations need to be named Plack::Server::* anymore since it doesn't inherit anything. I have more to write about naming your stuff on CPAN, hopefully soon to be posted here.
I also uploaded Catalyst::Engine::PSGI but i keep other framework adapters like Maypole, Mason, Mojo, CGI::Application and Squatting in my github repos for now, since some of the implementations are pretty hacky, and I'm not confident nor comfortable maintaining those adapters when bugs are found etc. Anyone from the dev team of these frameworks want to take care of actually releasing this to CPAN or porting to the core? :)
Anyway, this is a big milestone. Thanks everybody for helping me this past month and let's celebrate the initial release, but let's continue hacking!





Looking forward to trying this out with Catalyst. Hopefully this huge effort will make deploying Perl applications more straightforward and reduce some unneeded duplicate effort amongst projects.

Thanks!
Catalyt::Engine::PSGI contains (and actually passes) the whole Catalyst's aggregated test suite, so I'm confident (or at least a little more confident than other frameworks) on its implementation.
I look forward to seeing Catalyst applications deployed with the Plack stack, which I actually plan to do at work myself :)

Squatting adapter is taken over by Beppu, the author of Squatting. This is excellent.
If there's anyone from Mason/Maypole/CGI::App/Mojo development who wants to take over my hack, just le me know.
