Hi Frido,
That's an interesting point.
I was thinking that we'd just replace "/cgi-bin/koha" with a different base path (like "/opac" and "/intranet"). If we didn't do that (after all "/opac" and "/intranet" are still ugly), then I suppose we would need some other mechanism (like file extension) to enable CGI execution.
Even with Plack... if we wanted the reverse proxy to serve the static assets, we'd need some way of knowing which requests to proxy to Starman...
But you could turn on proxy/CGI for everything *except* requests to "intranet-tmpl" and "opac-tmpl" using Location or LocationMatch directives for instance. The static assets already have that base path, so that provides a nice hook.
I've just finished restructuring an old PHP project, so I do have URL paths and file locations on my mind. I'm not using Laravel, but with Laravel you put your index.php and static assets into the "/public" directory and use that as your web app root. Then you tell it to use index.php as a FastCGI app.
Hmm... here's an interesting snippet from the internet for Apache (looking for equivalents of Nginx's try_files):
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ balancer://app_cluster%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L]
Anyway, there are certainly options.

In this case in webserver config we base dynamic pages on the ".pl"
extension. This is the case for example on the php projects I know.
But then we must rename files in "svc" dirs with .pl.
I'd be happy to test ;)
