The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Web::Snapon
DSLIP: bdpOl
description: Module to make any perl code HTTP accessible
userid: MLUKER (Matt Luker)
chapterid: 16 (Server_and_Daemon_Utilities)
communities:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
similar:
HTTP::Daemon
rationale:
Well, I am open to any suggestions on the namespace. I currently
develop it under RSH::Web::Snapon to prevent name-class or name
polution. If you believe the application is to specialized, I'm
willing to keep it there (but it would require an addition of RSH to
the top namespaces).
Basically, I have been asked repeatedly, "Gee, is there some way to
access the script via a web browser?" or "Is there anyway to
interact with the script from another machine--like with a web
browser?"
These questions reflect two needs/ideas: using a web browser as a
UI and the easy creation and management of remote "perl daemons".
Now, HTTP::Daemon does almost all the hard work for you by making
the creation of a HTTP capable daemon fairly straight forward. But
then comes the next part--which is often repetitive--hooking in your
code to respond to the requests.
My module basically wraps all the HTTP::Daemon and request handling
(even setting up the CGI environment) and provides a script for
firing it off. The user of the module then creates a mapping by
subclassing the mapping class--associating urls with code. So,
hooking up a script to an HTTP daemon is a matter of writing one
function in a subclass.
I think this is handy--and I thought others might as well. That's
why I'd like to put it into CPAN. If it isn't as nifty as I think, I
am willing to just distribute it via my own website--but it wouldn't
be nearly as cool as getting it into CPAN ;-)
