( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Thanks again for your help, which makes this site the unique resource it is.

Using exit from within the handler does the job! This seems to be the natural solution I've failed to come up with. So in Webserver.pm:
package MyWebServer; use strict; use warnings; use HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI; use base qw(HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI); sub handle_request { exit; } 1;

For the sake of completeness, here's the code where the PID was written in a file (with some diagnostics sent to STDERR). Note that it didn't stop the server:

In test.pl:
use strict; use warnings; use MyWebServer; my $server = MyWebServer->new( 8080 ); my $pid = $server->background(); print STDERR $pid, "\n"; open( my $fh, '>', 'pid.txt' ) || die; print $fh $pid; close $fh;
And in Webserver.pm:
package MyWebServer; use strict; use warnings; use HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI; use base qw(HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI); sub handle_request { open( my $fh, '<', 'pid.txt' ) || die; my $pid = <$fh>; close $fh; print STDERR $pid, "\n"; kill 9, $pid; } 1;

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
