Please see perl+aolserver progress link for details. It is updated periodically; there is now an outline of an implementation and release plan.

Hilites:

  • aolserver-3.0 and perl-5.6.0 now joined at hip
  • aolserver can call perl scripts
  • perl scripts can call aolserver API functions
  • perl scripts can load those and other dynamic perl modules
  • aolserver passes to perl a connection to the requesting browser
  • perl scripts use this connection to send HTML (and others) to browser
  • initial release of the low-level API layer planned when completed
  • present (messy/un/poorly documented) code can be made available.
