I can confirm that both Plack::App::CGIBin and Plack::App:WrapCGI work
with Interchange5! Plack::App::CGIBin actually uses WrapCGI in the
background.

To enable all catalogs:

plackup -MPlack::App::CGIBin -e 'Plack::App::CGIBin->new(root =>
"/path/to/interchange/bin/catalogs/")->to_app'

Or just a single catalog:

plackup --path /CATALOG -MPlack::App::WrapCGI -e
"Plack::App::WrapCGI->new(script =>
'/path/to/interchange/bin/catalogs/CATALOG', execute => 1)->to_app"

We are currently setting this up in our dev environment and will be
testing it out in production soon!
