Very nice, Bas. Thanks for sharing with us. For J2EE in Perl see http://p5ee.perl.org/. Very early alpha though. For protocol server httpd-2.0/modperl-2.0 is exactly what you want, since it supports protocol servers and other useful things you will most likely benefit from (e.g. filtering), but don't hold your breath yet, since httpd-2.0 is not out yet. Though if you plan doing a next generation some time in the future, you probably better off start looking at modperl-2.0. We already have Eliza protocol example running as one of the tests: t/TEST -v protocol/eliza protocol/eliza....1..6 ok 1 # send: Hello Eliza # recv: Hi. What seems to be your problem? ok 2 # send: How are you # recv: You're not really talking about me -- are you? ok 3 # send: Why do I have core dumped? # recv: That's quite interesting. ok 4 # send: I feel like writing some tests today, you? # recv: That is interesting. Please continue. ok 5 # send: good bye # recv: That is interesting. Please continue. ok 6 ok All tests successful. This is the client: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/~checkout~/modperl-2.0/t/protocol/eliza.t This is the server: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/~checkout~/modperl-2.0/t/protocol/TestProtocol/eliza.pm Also, can we adapt your story for our success stories collection? http://perl.apache.org/stories/ If so, can you please send me an adapted version, or I can simply throw it in as is :) _____________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide http://perl.apache.org/guide mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ticketmaster.com http://apacheweek.com http://singlesheaven.com http://perl.apache.org http://perlmonth.com/
