NAME

Win32::ProcFarm::Port - manages access to the TCP port for ProcFarm system

SYNOPSIS

use Win32::ProcFarm::Port;

$port_obj = Win32::ProcFarm::Port->new(9000, 1);

print $port_obj->get_port_num;

$socket = $port_obj->get_next_connection;

DESCRIPTION

Installation instructions

This installs with MakeMaker as part of Win32::ProcFarm.

To install via MakeMaker, it's the usual procedure - download from CPAN, extract, type "perl Makefile.PL", "nmake" then "nmake install". Don't do an "nmake test" because the I haven't written a test suite yet.

METHODS

new

The new method creates a new Win32::ProcFarm::Port object (fancy that!). It takes two parameters - the first is the port number to listen on, and the second is the number of listeners to create - this will specify the number of "hold lines" for the port object.

get_port_num

This returns the port number passed in the new method.

get_next_connection

This accepts an inbound connection and returns the socket object. If the inbound connection is not from 127.0.0.1, the method calls die as this indicates an attempt to hack the system by an external host.
