AFAIK, handling sockets or other aspects of TCP/IP is not in the scope
of CGI:App, it just helps structuring the application code to work
within a CGI-like environment. Actual handling of the network is left to
someone else, like Apache, nginx, HTTP::Server, ...

As a plus, this means CGI:App doesn't get in your way when you want to
use any of the examples mentioned in the article.

CGI:App could then be used for the backend code handling the request
content.
