This software is a lightweight, open-source HTTP server written in Perl for prototyping web applications. It is designed to emulate the functionality of the WEBrick server in Ruby, making it easy for developers to quickly test and iterate their code.
With HTTP::Server::Brick, you can quickly spin up a local server for testing your web application. The syntax is straightforward, and you can mount directories and handlers to specific paths with ease.
For example, you can use the following code to create a server on port 8888 and mount a directory to the '/foo/bar' path:
```
use HTTP::Server::Brick;
use HTTP::Status;
my $server = HTTP::Server::Brick->new( port => 8888 );
$server->mount( '/foo/bar' => {
path => '/some/directory/htdocs',
});
```
Additionally, you can mount a handler to a path, as shown in the following example:
```
$server->mount( '/test/proc' => {
handler => sub {
my ($req, $res) = @_;
$res->add_content("Path info: $req->{path_info}.");
},
});
```
This will create a handler that prints the path info for requests made to the '/test/proc' path.
Overall, HTTP::Server::Brick is an excellent option for prototyping web applications in Perl. It's lightweight, easy to use, and provides all the functionality you need for basic HTTP serving.
