net-server - Base Net::Server starting module

           Paul Seamons <paul@seamons.com>

       The net-server program gives a simple way to test out code and try port connection parameters.  Though
       the running server can be robust enough for production, it is anticipated that this binary will just be
       used for basic testing of net-server ports, acting as a simple echo server, or for running development
       scripts as CGI.

       net-server - Base Net::Server starting module

       "base type"
           The  very  first  argument  may  be a Net::Server flavor.  This is given as shorthand for writing out
           server_type "ServerFlavor".  Additionally, this allows types such as HTTP and  PSGI,  which  are  not
           true Net::Server base types, to subclass other server types via an additional server_type argument.

               net-server PreFork

               net-server HTTP  # becomes a HTTP server in the Fork flavor

               net-server HTTP server_type PreFork  # preforking HTTP server

       "port"
           Port  to bind upon.  Default is 80 if running a HTTP server as root, 8080 if running a HTTP server as
           non-root, or 20203 otherwise.

           Multiple value can be given for binding to multiple ports.  All of the methods  for  specifying  port
           attributes enumerated in Net::Server and Net::Server::Proto are available here.

               net-server port 20201

               net-server port 20202

               net-server port 20203/IPv6

       "host"
           Host  to bind to.  Default is *.  Will bind to an IPv4 socket if an IPv4 address is given.  Will bind
           to an IPv6 socket if an IPv6 address is given (requires installation of IO::Socket::INET6).

           If a hostname is given and "ipv" is still set to 4, an IPv4 socket will be created.  If a hostname is
           given and "ipv" is set to 6, an IPv6 socket will be created.  If a hostname is given and "ipv" is set
           to * (default), a lookup will be performed and any available IPv4 or IPv6 addresses  will  be  bound.
           The  "ipv"  parameter can be set directly, or passed along in the port, or additionally can be passed
           as part of the hostname.

               net-server host localhost

               net-server host localhost/IPv4

       There are many more options available.  Please see the Net::Server documentation.
