Hi monks,

I am looking for module that provides a HTTP(S) server that supports spawning off a thread/fork for each connecting client, so that the processing for each can run simultenously.

One way seems to be: HTTP::Server::Simple with HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI::PreFork

Are there any other mature ones, maybe also based on NET::SERVER?

My application is that I generate HTML/CSS/JSON and other replies to GET/POST requests, the generating takes 10-20 seconds due to queries to other external databases etc. So even though this will be an internal app with low number of users, synchronously handling user requests results in poor user experience of having to wait/contend with each other.

Thanks!

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.


good chemistry is complicated, and a little bit messy -LW
