Hello, everyone. I’m happy to announce the first release of nginx-perl, version 1.1.11.1: ``` http://zzzcpan.github.com/nginx-perl/ ``` Nginx-perl provides asynchronous functions for original embedded perl to resolve domain names, connect to external hosts, exchange data and most importantly respond to HTTP clients. Code sample can be found on the web page above. Features - full official nginx perl API - asynchronous connections (ngx\_connector, ngx\_reader, ngx\_writer) - timer (ngx\_timer) - SSL (ngx\_ssl\_handshaker) - resolver (ngx\_resolver) - access handlers (perl\_access) - app handlers (perl\_app) - configuration level eval (perl\_eval) - init\_worker, exit\_worker handlers (perl\_init\_worker, perl\_exit\_worker) - logging functions (ngx\_log\_\*) - client connection takeover for websockets, etc. In many ways it is an actual asynchronous framework. You can install it from sources manually with your favorite nginx addons: ``` % perl Makefile.PL --with-http_ssl_module % make % make test % make install # or to try without installation % ./objs/nginx-perl -p eg/helloworld ``` Or from CPAN: ``` % cpan Nginx::Perl ``` Documentation is far from perfect, but should be enough for people already familiar with embedded perl. If you have a question, add an issue on github. Github: [GitHub - zzzcpan/nginx-perl: Full-featured perl support for nginx](https://github.com/zzzcpan/nginx-perl) ---

Hi, Troll: Will the next version be numbered 1.1.11.1.1 ? ## :oP _B. R._ ---

Thank you for your amazing work! 😃 BTW, is it possible to make it also a _synchronous_ but still nonblocking framework just like the ngx\_lua module’s cosocket mechanism based on the Nginx event model and Lua coroutines? ``` https://github.com/chaoslawful/lua-nginx-module/blob/cosocket/t/058-tcp-socket.t#L17 ``` Many people hate the “callback nightmare” but still love to embrace C10K 🙂 Thanks for your efforts! -agentzh ---

Sounds hilarious!!! AnyEvent::Impl::Nginx adapter for Nginx::Perl would really really great! Best regards, Brane ---

Hm… Am I only one who is confused by this project and did not find any good in having separate nginx tree to see couple more perl functions? Why not to create/compile an XS that links itself properly to nginx.so and other libs? Why not to create add-on ngx\_http\_superperl module if you really want it your way? Alex. ---
