| Summary : Net-Server - Extensible, general Perl server engine
|
Description :
C< Net::Server> is an extensible, generic Perl server engine.
C< Net::Server> combines the good properties from
C< Net::Daemon> (0.34), C< NetServer::Generic> (1.03), and
C< Net::FTPServer> (1.0), and also from various concepts in
the Apache Webserver.
C< Net::Server> attempts to be a generic server as in
C< Net::Daemon> and C< NetServer::Generic>. It includes with
it the ability to run as an inetd process
(C< Net::Server::INET>), a single connection server
(C< Net::Server> or C< Net::Server::Single>), a forking server
(C< Net::Server::Fork>), a preforking server which maintains
a constant number of preforked children (C< Net::Server::PreForkSimple>),
or as a managed preforking server which maintains the number
of children based on server load (C< Net::Server::PreFork>).
In all but the inetd type, the server provides the ability to
connect to one or to multiple server ports.
C< Net::Server> uses ideologies of C< Net::FTPServer> in order
to provide extensibility. The additional server types are
made possible via \"personalities\" or sub classes of the
C< Net::Server>. By moving the multiple types of servers out of
the main C< Net::Server> class, the C< Net::Server> concept is
easily extended to other types (in the near future, we would
like to add a \"Thread\" personality).
C< Net::Server> borrows several concepts from the Apache
Webserver. C< Net::Server> uses \"hooks\" to allow custom
servers such as SMTP, HTTP, POP3, etc. to be layered over
the base C< Net::Server> class. In addition the
C< Net::Server::PreFork> class borrows concepts of
min_start_servers, max_servers, and min_waiting servers.
C< Net::Server::PreFork> also uses the concept of an flock
serialized accept when accepting on multiple ports (PreFork
can choose between flock, IPC::Semaphore, and pipe to control
serialization).
