You (or rather, Dancer, if that's what you're using) provide PSGI with an app handler subroutine. For example:

True!  However, I'd be interested in seeing how many people are writing their own Plack::Middleware components.  As it's a nice and easy way to replace a lot of work you normally might be forced to write with mod_perl handlers, I would expect that the use of custom Middleware should rise over time as well.
