It includes with it the ability to run as an inetd +process ("Net::Server::INET"), a single connection server ("Net::Server" +or "Net::Server::Single"), a forking server ("Net::Server::Fork"), a +preforking server which maintains a constant number of preforked +children ("Net::Server::PreForkSimple"), or as a managed preforking +server which maintains the number of children based on server load +("Net::Server::PreFork"). In all but the inetd type, the server provides +the ability to connect to one or to multiple server ports. + +"Net::Server" is built around a common class (Net::Server) and is +extended using sub classes, or "personalities". Each personality +inherits, overrides, or enhances the base methods of the base class. |
