I wasn't sure if Mock::* was the best name to use.
I think it's appropriate, since it really is just mocking a subset of
the behaviour of the HTTP::* modules. The only alternative I can
think of that might make sense is naming them Pod::Webserver::Daemon,
Pod::Webserver::Request, etc...
Also, the patch as supplied was intended to give the minimum
changes to the
POD part of the code whilst keeping everything working, more as a
proof of
concept than a final version. If the chosen path is to drop the use of
HTTP:Daemon and associated modules, then I believe that it's
possible to
clean the code still further by simplifying the API between the two
halves.
I think it has the right level of abstraction now, and the break-down
into separate packages makes it easy to test. But, send me a patch if
you come up with a good way to simplify it further.
I've refactored and added tests for the module and for your
additions, so sync up to the latest version:
http://svn.lohutok.net/nam/trunk/perl5/modules/Pod/Webserver/
I'd also appreciate any bug (or success) reports from people who run
the tests on unusual operating systems or versions of Perl.
Thanks!
Allison
