👑 Maypole::HTTPD::Frontend 💅

okay bestie, welcome to Maypole::HTTPD::Frontend(3) — yep, that's a Perl manual page, straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, section 3, iykyk 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

Maypole::HTTPD::Frontend — it's the Maypole driver class for Maypole::HTTPD, and that's literally it, that's the whole name 🌸

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe: this is a simple CGI based Maypole driver for Maypole::HTTPD. Nothing extra, nothing dramatic, just a lil CGI situation doing its thing 🎀

And the best part? You don't even have to set it up yourself — it gets used automatically as the frontend by Maypole::Application. She's self-sufficient, she's employed, she's got main character energy 👑

Now, the way that it works is that it overrides the following functions in CGI::Maypole:

• get_request — instantiates a CGI object that represents the request 💫
• send_output — stores the generated output in a buffer, like a little purse for your output 👜

🌈 output_now 🌈

This one actually outputs what's been buffered by send_output. Used by Maypole::HTTPD — that's the whole job, and she ate 🔥
