<div dir="ltr">This post (link below) gives the source code to several (claimed) working examples of web-socket servers in Perl. It is intended to compare and contrast building a websocket server at various levels of abstraction... from the fairly low level (Protocol::WebSocket running in any one of a number of Perl TCP event loops) to the high level (Mojolicious, Plack::Middleware::WebSocket, and AnyEvent::HTTP::Server) to the completely bare-bones (using nothing but IO::Socket::INET) .<div>

</div><div>You may have already seen this article as it is the second link liste in a Google search for 'perl and websockets', and I cannot vouch for any of the code as I haven't tried it myself, but I'd be surprised if none of the 17 approaches mentioned in that article work... TIMTOWTDI strikes again.</div>

I can't see Mojolicious working too well with websockets, as<br>
websockets send a persistent connection to whoever is connecting, and<br>
mojolicious is designed for HTTP transmission, which as we all know,<br>
is a stateless, one-off packet. If you had to reload the page to<br>
reload a new resource, you may as well have defeated the purpose of<br>
having that single stream of communication open, innit? Though,<br>
systems like mojolicious are good for building the HTTP backend of the<br>
website if the whole website doesn't have to be websocketed. Seems<br>
like it might be a combination of Mojolicious and<br>
