Net::Server::MultiType(3)            User Contributed Perl Documentation           Net::Server::MultiType(3)



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.
