Hi,

From the POD of the module:

$server->RegisterURL("/foo/bar.pl",\&test);

  sub test
  {
      my $req = shift;             # Net::HTTPServer::Request object
      my $res = $req->Response();  # Net::HTTPServer::Response object

      $res->Print("<html>\n");
      $res->Print("  <head>\n");
      $res->Print("    <title>This is a test</title>\n");
      $res->Print("  </head>\n");
      $res->Print("  <body>\n");
      $res->Print("    <pre>\n");

      foreach my $var (keys(%{$req->Env()}))
      {
          $res->Print("$var -> ".$req->Env($var)."\n");
      }
      
      $res->Print("    </pre>\n");
      $res->Print("  </body>\n");
      $res->Print("</html>\n");

      return $res;
  }

You are mixing things together... for example:

On sub test you don't get the $ENV var, what you get is the Request object.

After calling $server->Process() you enter in a loop so the next statement won't be executed

You're not authenticating, you want to send a HTML page answer to a client, so you only need to print to STDOUT = client the html output

You can print the port listening on, after calling the Start() method, but not after calling Process() without giving a timeout value...

Better take a second look at the module doc. ;-)

Regards,

:-)

Update: don't know exactly what you wanna do, but I recommend you, taking a look at POE, at http://poe.perl.org
