NAME

Apache::Toe - A mod_perl Web Client for Playing TicTacToe Against An ActiveWorks Adapter.

SYNOPSIS

Top

See the apache/conf/perl.conf and apache/conf/startup.pl files.

DESCRIPTION

Top

The Apache::Toe module will play the game of Tic-Tac-Toe thru an Apache server and ActiveWorks broker. The module demonstrates an Aw::Client used under mod_perl. The bin/ttt_adapter.pl must be running and attached to the same broker used by this module. The Apache::Toe module assumes the default broker configured in the local Aw:: module (and may be reset on either lines 14 or 40).

This modules is a bit crufty, but still works as advertised.
