There is a module from the POE project which performs something similar to this task - POE::Filter::HTTPD. This module can be used to convert a raw stream into a HTTP::Request object and a HTTP::Response object into the corresponding stream of data. While this does not exactly meet your requirements, it should provide a good start on any endeavour to create such a tool.

Note too, that the filter modules from the POE project can be used independently of POE and as such, there is no requirement to employ this entire framework (although, depending upon your task, it could make things immensely easier).

 

perl -le 'print+unpack("N",pack("B32","00000000000000000000001001000100"))'

• 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.
