Shotgun loader uses fork(2) system call to create a fresh Perl interpreter, that is known to not work
properly in a fork-emulation layer on Windows and cause huge memory leaks.

If you're aware of this and still want to run the loader, run it with the environment variable
PLACK_SHOTGUN_MEMORY_LEAK on.

=head1 NAME

Plack::Loader::Shotgun - forking implementation of plackup

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  plackup -L Shotgun

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Shotgun loader delays the compilation and execution of your
application until the runtime. When a new request comes in, this forks
a new child, compiles your code and runs the application.

This should be an ultimate alternative solution when reloading with
L<Plack::Middleware::Refresh> doesn't work, or plackup's default C<-r>
filesystem watcher causes problems. I can imagine this is useful for
applications which expects their application is only evaluated once
(like in-file templates) or on operating systems with broken fork
implementation, etc.

This is much like good old CGI's fork and run but you don't need a web
server, and there's a benefit of preloading modules that are not
likely to change. For instance if you develop a web application using
Moose and DBIx::Class,

  plackup -MMoose -MDBIx::Class -L Shotgun yourapp.psgi

would preload those modules and only re-evaluates your code in every
request.
