NAME

Mojolicious::Plugin::OnFork - Do Something Whenever a Worker Starts

VERSION

Version 0.002

SYNOPSIS

# Mojolicious
$self->plugin('OnFork' => sub { srand })
  if $ENV{HYPNOTOAD_APP};

# Mojolicious::Lite
plugin OnFork => sub { srand }
  if $ENV{HYPNOTOAD_APP};

DESCRIPTION

Mojolicious::Plugin::OnFork is a plugin to easily define code, that is executed whenever a new worker process of the web server forks.

All this plugin actually does is

Mojo::IOLoop->timer(0 => $code)

The motivation for this plugin was, that hypnotoad does not call "srand" in perlfunc after a "fork" in perlfunc, so your workers probably all get the same sequence of "random" numbers from "rand" in perlfunc. The Mojolicious maintainers are reluctant to fix this problem. OTOH I want to hide gory Mojolicious guts like the above code from my applications.

METHODS

Mojolicious::Plugin::OnFork inherits all methods from Mojolicious::Plugin and implements the following new ones.

register

Register plugin hooks in Mojolicious application.
