Plack::Loader::Restarter - Restarting loader

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  plackup -r -R paths

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Plack::Loader::Restarter is a loader backend that implements C<-r> and
C<-R> option for the L<plackup> script. It forks the server as a child
process and the parent watches the directories for file updates, and
whenever it receives the notification, kills the child server and
restart.
