[Wellington-pm] Perlbal

[Ewen McNeill]

That LiveJournal-originated web server front end I was talking about
tonight is Perlbal:

http://www.danga.com/perlbal/

It's one of the last bits that Brad Fitzpatrick (coder behind much of
the LJ infrastructure) wrote before leaving LJ (he's now working at
Google).

It's another event based webserver, with the option for serving static
files directly.  It also has the option for prioritising request with a
cookie (eg, "user has paid" type cookie)

As you can probably guess from the name, it's written in Perl.
