HTTP::Server::Simple::Mason(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation HTTP::Server::Simple::Mason(3pm)
NAME
HTTP::Server::Simple::Mason - An abstract baseclass for a standalone mason server
SYNOPSIS
my $server = MyApp::Server->new();
$server->run;
package MyApp::Server;
use base qw/HTTP::Server::Simple::Mason/;
sub mason_config {
return ( comp_root => '/tmp/mason-pages' );
}
DESCRIPTION
INTERFACE
See HTTP::Server::Simple and the documentation below.
mason_handler
Returns the server's "HTML::Mason::CGIHandler" object. The first time this method is called, it creates a new handler by calling
"new_handler".
handle_request CGI
Called with a CGI object. Invokes mason and runs the request
handle_error ERROR
If the call to "handle_request" dies, "handle_error" is called with the exception (that is, $@). By default, it does nothing; it can be
overridden by your subclass.
new_handler
Creates and returns a new "HTML::Mason::CGIHandler", with configuration specified by the "default_mason_config" and "mason_config" methods.
You don't need to call this method yourself; "mason_handler" will automatically call it the first time it is called.
handler_class
Returns the name of the Mason handler class invoked in "new_handler". Defaults to HTML::Mason::CGIHandler, but in your subclass you may
wish to change it to a subclass of HTML::Mason::CGIHandler.
setup_escapes $handler
Sets up the Mason escapes for the handler $handler. For example, the "h" in
<% $name | h %>
By default, sets "h" to "HTTP::Server::Simple::Mason::escape_utf8" and "u" to "HTTP::Server::Simple::Mason::escape_uri", but you can
override this in your subclass.
mason_config
Returns a subclass-defined mason handler configuration; you almost certainly want to override it and specify at least "comp_root".
default_mason_config
Returns the default mason handler configuration (which can be overridden by entries in "mason_config").
escape_utf8 SCALARREF
does a css-busting but minimalist escaping of whatever html you're passing in.
escape_uri SCALARREF
Escapes URI component according to RFC2396
CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
For most configuration, see HTTP::Server::Simple.
You can (and must) configure your mason CGI handler by subclassing this module and overriding the subroutine "mason_config". It's most
important that you set a component root (where your pages live) by adding
comp_root => '/some/absolute/path'
See the Synopsis section or "ex/sample_server.pl" in the distribution for a complete example.
