APM: perl - websockets - Mojolicious ?

[Montgomery Conner]

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) .

http://showmetheco.de/articles/2010/11/timtow-to-build-a-websocket-server-in-perl.html

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.


Hope this Helps and Good Luck!
Montgomery
