NAME
Net::DummyInetd - A dummy Inetd server
SYNOPSIS
use Net::DummyInetd;
use Net::SMTP;
$inetd = new Net::DummyInetd qw(/usr/lib/sendmail -ba -bs);
$smtp = Net::SMTP->new('localhost', Port => $inetd->port);
DESCRIPTION
Net::DummyInetd is just what it's name says, it is a dummy inetd server.
Creation of a Net::DummyInetd will cause a child process to be spawned off
which will listen to a socket. When a connection arrives on this socket
the specified command is fork'd and exec'd with STDIN and STDOUT file
descriptors duplicated to the new socket.
This package was added as an example of how to use Net::SMTP to connect
to a sendmail process, which is not the default, via SIDIN and STDOUT.
A Net::Inetd package will be available in the next release of libnet
