Re: robust all-perl web server, was Re: asynchronous execution
Stephen Adkins sent the following bits through the ether: * Is there a robust all-perl web server? I've done some work in the past for OpenFrame on making HTTP::Daemon forking and preforking, and also using POE::Component::Server::HTTP. To be honest, most of them were a pain to get running. For $latest_web_project we have a small Perl program which writes a custom httpd.conf (using TT2) and then starts apache using apachectl. It's much simpler, faster to develop, and generally more robust. YMMV. Leon -- Leon Brocard.http://www.astray.com/ scribot.http://www.scribot.com/ Real men write self-modifying code

HTTP::Daemon - an all-perl web server (single request at a time) Net::Server - multi-process, lots of nice things that Apache has It would be somewhat analogous to how the Tomcat Java Servlet engine can act serve web requests directly without any need for Apache. Or if you want to knit it together with Apache, you can do so with mod_jk (similar to Perl with mod_perl). You can use forking with HTTP::Daemon for handling multiple simultaneous requests. I dunno about polling/select. I'd be curious to see a pure-perl ithreaded HTTP::Daemon if one doesn't already exist. As for using it with Apache, you'd probably be able to use mod_proxy as recommended in the mod_perl guide: light Apache process for static content up front which proxies dynamic requests to the heavier backend, in this case HTTP::Daemon instead of mod_perl.
