[Persistentperl-users] Followup to my STDOUT issue

[Dallas E. <da...@nm...>]

I was reading the docs on how speedy works, and seen

When executed, the speedy frontend does the following:
   1. Looks for an available backend to run this script.
   2. If no backends are available, starts a new one.
   3. As soon as a backend is located, connects to it and starts to send =
over %ENV, @ARGV and the STDIN data.
   4. Brings back the STDOUT and STDERR data from the backend and sends =
it to its output.=20

The speedy backend does the following:
   1. Initializes the perl interpreter and compiles the perl script
   2. Waits for a frontend to contact it
   3. Once a frontend contacts it, reads in and initializes %ENV and =
@ARGV
   4. Sets up STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR so that they are connected to the =
frontend via Unix sockets.
   5. Executes the perl code.
   6. Goes back and waits for another frontend to contact it.=20


When I look at Step 3 on how speedy works, I see that it does not pipe =
STDOUT to the backend?  How am I supposed to read STDOUT from a previous =
pipe into my script??  Like the one I posted before.  I'm trying to =
write a filter that mail pipes through, but I dont want to invoke a perl =
interpreter for each email!   In order to get the envelope addresses, I =
have to read STDOUT from the qmail-smtpd pipe to my script.

Is this impossible with perperl or should I maybe look into fastcgi?

Thanks.
