I have been playing with Plack recently.  It makes use of PSGI,
an interface such as CGI or FastCGI or mod_perl that sits between
an application and the webserver.  The benefit of PSGI is that
once an application targets it, it opens up a lot of
possibilities with regard to webservers and persistence.

One of the most informative talks listed is:

As a quick test, there are some Plack modules that allow you to
test out CGI scripts in a Plack environment:
