IO::Socket, or any IO

[Michael Snoyman]

I was thinking of rewriting a little webserver program I wrote in Perl 5
using Pugs. I was wondering what the equivilent (if any) of IO::Socket is.
I suppose I could use an external webserver and use CGI to get this working
with IO, but my preference would be a pure Perl 6 approach.

If you're wondering, the program I wrote is a simple little webpage with two
buttons so my wife can play music off my Linux box (with good speakers) from
her laptop (with bad speakers), so I don't really need this to be a very
stable setup, it's mostly for curiosity's sake.

See examples/network/http-server.pl in the Pugs tree. :-)

Thanks Audrey. I actually found that after writing that post. What I had
wanted to do was write a threaded server, implemented in Perl 6 only (ie,
including Perl 6 regexs). I got that working almost entirely, when I
couldn't find any thread implementation. I tried using fork() to get a same
effect, but it seems that fork also isn't available. Was I missing
something, or are these just features that I need to wait for?

Thanks,
Michael

async{} creates a thread:

my $thr = async { ... };

You can use the usual .join, .detach, .yield methods on it.

Thanks,
