Perl Web Folk:

I'm in a place where we still use CGI. As in, we write new code that uses CGI. I know that's not the new thing, that the new thing is PSGI. I have to say that I don't get it.

What I see is writing a thing that runs as something.url:3000/, then you have your webserver redirect my.real.url/service to that first URL. I'd have to hear it explained to get why that isn't dumber than CGI, because it's not coming off as smart.

I mean, it COULD be smart. Or it COULD be a poor or wrong explanation of how it works, once you've gotten past the hello-world part. People who I respect are talking up PSGI, but I am still not getting how it works and why it's better. I've searched for that blog post, that README, and have yet to find it. So, please point me to it or write it for me.

Thanks.
