So here it is. This requires Apache2/mod_perl. Sorry. The first version of Apache is too HTTP-centric. In Apache2, the project moved twards a more generalized server that was modular enough to support other protocols. Without that, making Gopher available on Apache servers would have been impossible, or at least very difficult. For the moment, this isn't a very full-featured server. If you want a stand-alone Gopher server, you're probably better off using PyGopherd (L). If you want to convert an existing Apache2 server into something that can support Gopher and you don't care about (or can wait for) some fancier features, then this will work fine. This relies on the Gopher::Server module to take care most of the implementation details of the protocol. Apache::GopherHandler provides the glue between that module and Apache. =head1 CONFIGURATION The best way to run Apache::GopherHandler is inside an Apache . Actual configuration is done either inside a directive or your Apache startup file. This is done by accessing the hash C<%Apache::GopherHandler::Config>. Keys can be specified here that will be passed to the C you specify in the C key. Currently, only C is supported (but this will change). At a minimum, the following keys are needed: =head2 handler The C class to use. Default: C =head2 server The hostname of the server. Default: localhost =head2 port The TCP port of the server. Make sure your directive specifies this port and the Apache C option is set to listen on this port. Default: 70 =head2 doc_root The root of the Gopher server on your file system. Default: /noexists/ =head1 BUGS Yes. =head1 AUTHOR Timm Murray CPAN ID: TMURRAY E-Mail: tmurray@cpan.org Homepage: http://www.wumpus-cave.net =head1 LICENSE Apache::GopherHandler Copyright (C) 2004 Timm Murray This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
