NAME

Net::Server::MultiType − Net::Server personality

SYNOPSIS

  use Net::Server::MultiType;
  @ISA = qw(Net::Server::MultiType);
  sub process_request {
     #...code...
  }
  my @types = qw(PreFork Fork Single);
  Net::Server::MultiType−>run(server_type=>\@types);

DESCRIPTION

Please read the pod on Net::Server first. This module is a personality, or extension, or sub class, of the Net::Server module.

This personality is intended to allow for easy use of multiple Net::Server personalities. Given a list of server types, Net::Server::MultiType will require one at a time until it finds one that is installed on the system. It then adds that package to its @ISA, thus inheriting the methods of that personality.

ARGUMENTS

In addition to the command line arguments of the Net::Server base class, Net::Server::MultiType contains one other configurable parameter.

Key Value Default
server_type 'server_type' 'Single'

server_type

May be called many times to build up an array or possible server_types. At execution, Net::Server::MultiType will find the first available one and then inherit the methods of that personality

CONFIGURATION FILE

"Net::Server::MultiType" allows for the use of a configuration file to read in server parameters. The format of this conf file is simple key value pairs. Comments and white space are ignored.
