Re: Adding simple HTTP controls to existing code

For example, the two web frameworks Mojolicious and Dancer (or Dancer2), or maybe even the raw Plack interface allow you to do that, and they each come with a built-in web server as well.

Your program could look like the following, adapted from the Mojolicious::Lite synopsis:

  # Automatically enables "strict", "warnings", "utf8" and Perl 5.16 f
+eatures
  use Mojolicious::Lite -signatures;

  # Route with placeholder
  get '/' => sub ($c) {
    my $foo = $c->param('foo');
    $c->render(text => "Hello from $foo.");

    run_main_program();

  };

  # Start the Mojolicious command system
  app->start;

Thanks, I will look those up, though I’d hoped to avoid adding dependencies on any large packages or frameworks for something seemingly trivial. As my core code repeats multiple times a second, I wonder if it might be easier just to open a socket, and managed it directly, polling for data, and deal with traffic. Thanks again.	[reply]

Then Mojo is your thing. It only has two dependencies, both of which are Core. holli You can lead your users to water, but alas, you cannot drown them.	[reply]
