Hello Sebastian,
I was afraid of the answer like this :)
Totally agree about potential risk of this change (for aaaall applications
already written), pretty core change. As you know Mojolicious much better
than I am, then I just answer to your question and defer this decision to
you.
*As for the Reasons:*
My intention is to have ability to track the name of the script inside of
Mojo app.
This ability will allow to us to make webapps similar to busybox binary (if
you are aware what is it). The same idea used a lot in *nix world. As I
already said Gentoo linux use this idea for the init script.
e.g. busyxbox
If you create symbolic link to the busybox with the name "ls" it will
behave like "ls" command:
% mkdir 1
% cd 1
% ln -s $(which busybox) ls
% ./ls -l
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 cono cono 12 Apr 6 02:11 ls -> /bin/busybox
e.g. mongodb on gentoo:
% ls -l /etc/init.d/mongodb*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 767 Mar 17 15:43 /etc/init.d/mongodb*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Oct 9 2013 /etc/init.d/mongodb-cfg -> mongodb*
% ls -l /etc/conf.d/mongodb*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 549 Mar 17 15:43 /etc/conf.d/mongodb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 434 Oct 9 2013 /etc/conf.d/mongodb-cfg
So I can run two instances of the mongodb at the same time with the
different configs.
*As for the Portability:*
I quickly looked to the File::Spec::* modules and I see overrides in Mac,
VMS, Unix, OS2 so I making decision its working fine. Dunno if the default
behavior (defined in base class) works on other OS like Windows.
But as I can see Windows is not a big deal :)
Mojo::Server::Hypnotoad:
# No Windows support
_exit('Hypnotoad is not available for Windows.') if $^O eq 'MSWin32';
