…imit When Plack is asked to load a path with a psgi app inside, ala /foo/bar/app.psgi, it first generates a namespace for the file -- something like Plack::Sandbox::_2ffoo_2fbar_2fapp_2epsgi. Those "sandboxed" namespaces can get very long. Long enough that they hit Perl's identifier limit of ~250 characters (see https://perldoc.perl.org/perldiag#Identifier-too-long). This commit patches Plack::Util::load_psgi() that always generates paths shorter than the threshold, and jumps through some hoops to ensure that no two applications end up sharing namespaces after the trimming.
