NAME POE::Component::Server::Echo - A POE component that implements an RFC 862 Echo server. VERSION version 1.66 SYNOPSIS use POE::Component::Server::Echo; my $self = POE::Component::Server::Echo->spawn( Alias => 'Echo-Server', BindAddress => '127.0.0.1', BindPort => 7777, options => { trace => 1 }, ); DESCRIPTION POE::Component::Server::Echo implements a RFC 862 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc862.html TCP/UDP echo server, using POE. The component encapsulates a class which may be used to implement further RFC protocols. CONSTRUCTOR spawn Takes a number of optional values: "Alias", the kernel alias that this component is to be blessed with; "BindAddress", the address on the local host to bind to, defaults to L default; "BindPort", the local port that we wish to listen on for requests, defaults to 7 as per RFC, this will require "root" privs on UN*X; "options", should be a hashref, containing the options for the component's session, see POE::Session for more details on what this should contain. METHODS sockname_tcp Takes no arguments. Returns a list consisting of the socket port and address of the TCP listening socket as returned by Socket's sockaddr_in function. sockname_udp Takes no arguments. Returns a list consisting of the socket port and address of the UDP listening socket as returned by Socket's sockaddr_in function. INPUT EVENTS shutdown Takes no arguments. Shuts down the component gracefully, terminating all listeners and disconnecting all connected clients. BUGS Report any bugs through http://rt.cpan.org/.
