[Omaha.pm] Echo server on 7 IPs in < 40 lines of code

[Jay Hannah <jay@jays.net>]

Project: You're trying to test some load balancing architecture. You 
need a program that will listen to port 443 on 7 different IPs 
simultaneously. It should accept multiple simultaneous TCP connections. 
For each connection it should echo the fist line of input back to the 
client and then disconnect (like the world's stupidest web server).

Note: IO::Multiplex rules.

Solution:
-----------
use IO::Socket;
use IO::Multiplex;

my $mux  = new IO::Multiplex;

for (153..159) {
   # Create a listening socket
   my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET(
      Proto     => 'tcp',
      LocalPort => 443,
      LocalAddr => "10.0.37.$_",
      Listen    => 4
   ) or die "socket: $@";

   # We use the listen method instead of the add method.
   $mux->listen($sock);
}

$mux->set_callback_object(__PACKAGE__);
$mux->loop;

sub mux_input {
   my $package = shift;
   my $mux     = shift;
   my $fh      = shift;
   my $input   = shift;

   $fh->send("$$input\n");
   $$input = undef;
   $mux->shutdown($fh, 1);
   $mux->shutdown($fh, 0);
   $mux->shutdown($fh, 2);
   $mux->kill_output($fh);
   $mux->close($fh);
}

Run it (as root) and poof!:

# lsof -n -i:443
COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
