Carbon4 WebServer Framework

Carbon4 is a modern multi-threaded server implementation. Primary designed for HTTP, however other protocols can be easily implemented, such as the custom limestone: database protocol provided.

Features:

• tcp/ssl
• http web servers with inline perl code
• http file servers
• raw http request processing
• limestone database
• multi-threaded processing
• sendfile()/file-buffering for sending/receiving large files
• lightweight footprint using select() calls

Requirements:

Carbon4 relies on these perl cpan packages:

• Carp
• Thread::Pool
• Thread::Queue
• Sys::Sendfile
• IO::Socket::INET
• IO::Socket::SSL
• File::Temp
• File::Slurper
• Gzip::Faster

All of these can be installed by doing:

cpanm Carp Thread::Pool Thread::Queue Sys::Sendfile IO::Socket::INET IO::Socket::SSL File::Temp File::Slurper Gzip::Faster

How to Run Examples

cd examples
export "PERL5LIB=.."
./file_server.pl

that's it.
