[cgiapp] CGI::App-based code and web servers
Hi Folks I've had an email asking if I could somehow let one of my modules use HTTP::Server::Simple where the user didn't want to, or couldn't, set up a stand-alone web server such as Apache. Then I got to thinking: What are the alternatives to HTTP::Server::Simple? And, what do people feel about these modules? TIA. -- Ron Savage r...@savage.net.au http://savage.net.au/index.html # CGI::Application community mailing list #### ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp## #### ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ####

Well, H::T::S is the basis for these stand alone servers: http://search.cpan.org/dist/CGI-Application-Server/ http://search.cpan.org/~markstos/CGI-Application-Dispatch-Server-0.52/ (I think that all of the functionality of CADS has been rolled into CAS and that CADS is EOL (phew...)). I use them for development and simple stuff. They have the same persistence issues/features that you see with mod_perl/fastcgi (you garbage doesn't miraculously disappear at the end of each request when the cgi script exits) but they work fine. g. # CGI::Application community mailing list #### ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp## #### ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ####

Smolder uses H::S::S (via CGI::Application::Server) and it worked great for development but when it was deployed it would just hang several times during the day. So I needed to restart it all the time. Smolder now uses H::S::S + Net::Server::Prefork which not only performs better but also seems to be more stable (but I did receive a report of it crashing after about a week of running). So if you go this route, definitely use N::S::P with it, but don't expect the stability or performance of what you'd get from Apache. The big benefit though is that they are Perl and can be installed from CPAN, which means that now Smolder can be installed from CPAN. -- Michael Peters Plus Three, LP # CGI::Application community mailing list #### ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp## #### ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ####

[...] When you use H::S::S + N::S::P, are you still using C::A::S on top of them, or is there something else in the mix? g. # CGI::Application community mailing list #### ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp## #### ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ####

Not for Smolder, it just used C::A::S (which is a H::S::S subclass) and then we
have
sub net_server { 'Net::Server::PreFork' }
