Net::G...:Server(3pm)

💖 Net::G...:Server(3pm) — User Contributed Perl Documentation 💖

okay so welcome to the Net::G...:Server(3pm) page, bestie. This is the User Contributed Perl Documentation vibe, and we're about to get into a test gemini server. Stay with me, it's gonna be cute and useful. 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Net::Gemini::Server — test gemini server. That's the whole name, no cap. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the "how do I even use this" moment, literally:

use Net::Gemini::Server;
my $server = Net::Gemini::Server->new(
  listen => {
    LocalAddr => '127.0.0.1',
    LocalPort => 0,
  },
  context => {
    SSL_cert_file => ...,
    SSL_key_file  => ...,
  }
);
$server->withforks(
  sub {
      my ( $client, $size, $request) = @_;
      ...
      close $client;
  }
);

Periodt. The ... bits are placeholders, so don't come for me. 🙈

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So this module provides a simple test server for Net::Gemini; see the test code for that module. That's the tea. It's giving "small helper module with main character energy." ✨

---

🦋 METHODS 🦋

okay, method time, stay close:

• new param — constructor, bestie. The param should include listen and context key values to configure the listen object and SSL context object. 🌈
• context =item port =item socket — yes, the accessor line is literally printed like that, =items and all. These accessors return the context object (see IO::Socket::SSL), listen port, and socket of the server. 💖
• withforks callback — accepts connections and forks child processes to handle the client request with the given callback. The callback is passed the client socket, size of the request, and the request string. 🎀

---

💀 BUGS 💀

None known.

But it is a rather incomplete module; that may be considered a bug? iykyk 😭
