Net::DummyInetd - A dummy Inetd server
use Net::DummyInetd;
use Net::SMTP;
$inetd = new Net::DummyInetd qw(/usr/lib/sendmail -ba -bs);
$smtp = Net::SMTP->new('localhost', Port => $inetd->port);
Net::DummyInetd is just what it's name says, it is a dummy inetd server.
Creation of a Net::DummyInetd will cause a child process to be spawned off
which will listen to a socket. When a connection arrives on this socket
the specified command is fork'd and exec'd with STDIN and STDOUT file
descriptors duplicated to the new socket.
This package was added as an example of how to use Net::SMTP to connect
to a sendmail process, which is not the default, via SIDIN and STDOUT.
A Net::Inetd package will be available in the next release of libnet
- new ( CMD )
-
Creates a new object and spawns a child process which listens to a socket.
CMD is a list, which will be passed to exec when a new process needs
to be created.
- port
-
Returns the port number on which the DummyInetd object is listening
