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.
