POE::Component::Proxy::TCP is an asynchronous, event driven proxy POE component. It accepts tcp connection on a specified well-know port from a remote client, and then connects to a remote server at a specified host and port. After connection it copies all data received from either side to the other, calling given callbacks to perform any application specific processing.
POE::Component::Proxy::TCP requires POE. Some example programs require Tk.pm. The requirements are encoded in Makefile.PL, so the CPAN shell should do the right thing. If this is installed without the CPAN shell, the person installing it will have to do the right thing manually.
POE::Component::Proxy::TCP may be installed through the CPAN shell in the usual CPAN shell manner. This typically is:
$ perl -MCPAN -e 'intstall POE::Component::Proxy::TCP'
You can also read this README from the CPAN shell:
$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> readme POE::Component::Proxy::TCP
And you can install the component from the CPAN prompt as well:
cpan> install POE::Component::Proxy::TCP
POE::Component::Proxy::TCP can also be installed manually.
Downloading and unpacking the distribution are left as exercises for the reader. To build and test it:
perl Makefile.PL
make test
When you're ready to install the component:
make install
It should now be ready to use.
Thanks for reading!
