title: An explanation of the nginx/starman/dancer web stack
body: <p>I've been doing web-programming for a while now and am quite familiar with the LAMP stack. I've decided to try playing around with the nginx/starman/dancer stack and I'm a bit confused about how to understand, from a high-level, how all the pieces relate to each other. Setting up the stack doesn't seem as straight forward as setting up the LAMP stack, but that's probably because I don't really understand how the pieces relate.</p>
  
  <p>I understand the role nginx is playing - a lightweight webserver/proxy - but I'm confused about how starman relates to pgsi, plack and dancer.</p>
  
  <p>I would appreciate a high-level breakdown of how these pieces relate to each other and why each is necessary (or not necessary) to get the stack setup. Thanks!</p>
