How to generate dynamic content via mod_perl handler in Template::Toolkit?

Question

I was just trying to use Template::Toolkit perl module on my centos to generate dynamic web content. This tutorial, and the one given on cpan site, is made to bind mod_perl with Apache. I'm using nginx on my centos. i tried allot, but I'm less into server things, so failed each time.

Can anyone help me to integrate mod_perl with nginx? Or is there any alternative for this?

Answer 1

mod_perl is an Apache module. It cannot be used with nginx.

To use Template::Toolkit with nginx, you will need to implement a web application some other way. Probably the most straightforward way of doing this will be to write it as a Plack application; this will allow it to be run as a HTTP or FastCGI server that nginx can proxy requests to.
