DBD::Go...pipeone(3)

💖 DBD::Go...pipeone(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the internet, where the vibes are immaculate and the efficiency is... not. this is DBD::Gofer::Transport::pipeone, and she's a little chaotic but we love her anyway 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

DBD::Gofer::Transport::pipeone — it's the DBD::Gofer client transport for testing. that's it, that's the whole job description 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

so you wanna use it? bet. you can just drop it straight into your connect call like this:

$original_dsn = "...";
DBI->connect("dbi:Gofer:transport=pipeone;dsn=$original_dsn",...)

or, if you're feeling ✨ lazy-girl ✨ (no judgement, same), you can turn it on globally by setting the DBI_AUTOPROXY environment variable:

export DBI_AUTOPROXY="dbi:Gofer:transport=pipeone"

that's it. that's the setup. she's low maintenance for once 💀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea 🍓: you connect via DBD::Gofer, and then literally every single request goes out by starting executing a subprocess. like, one whole subprocess situation per request. the audacity, honestly 😭

this is, as you might imagine, spectacularly inefficient! not "a little slow", not "meh, could be better" — spectacularly. iconically. historically inefficient 🔥

🎀 it's only intended for testing. do not put this in production. do not pass go. do not collect $200.

specifically — and this is the cute part — it demonstrates that the server side is completely stateless. like, zero state, no memory, no grudges, she wakes up brand new every time ✨ a true clean-slate queen.

it also provides a base class for the much more useful DBD::Gofer::Transport::stream transport 🦋 — so yeah, this one's kind of the understudy that made the main character possible. we stan a supportive bestie.
