Description:

"Net::Server" is an extensible, generic Perl server engine.
"Net::Server" combines the good properties from "Net::Daemon" (0.34),
"NetServer::Generic" (1.03), and "Net::FTPServer" (1.0), and also from
various concepts in the Apache Webserver.

"Net::Server" attempts to be a generic server as in "Net::Daemon" and
"NetServer::Generic". 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.
