Hello Ladies and Gentleman! I am currently writing a minimalistic chat server that will somewhat resemble IRC. I am writing it in perl using the Mojolicious, but unfortunately have run into an issue. I have the following code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Mojo::IOLoop::Server;
my $server = Mojo::IOLoop::Server->new;
$server->on(accept => sub {
my ($server, $handle) = @_;
my $data;
print $handle "Connected!\n";
while(1) {
$handle->recv($data, 4096);
if($data) {
print $server "$data";
}
}
});
$server->listen(port => $ARGV[0]);
$server->start;
$server->reactor->start unless $server->reactor->is_running;
Unfortunately, the print $server "$data"; line does not actually work. It gives off the error:
Mojo::Reactor::Poll: I/O watcher failed: Not a GLOB reference at ./server.pl line 20.
I have looked through the documentation for Mojolicious, but cannot find how to send the line I get from client A to the rest of the clients connected.
