NAME
   Starman - High-performance preforking PSGI web server

SYNOPSIS
     # Run app.psgi with the default settings
     > starman

     # run with Server::Starter
     > start_server --port 127.0.0.1:80 -- starman --max-servers 32 myapp.psgi

     # UNIX domain sockets
     > starman --listen /tmp/starman.sock

DESCRIPTION
   Starman is a PSGI perl web server that has unique features such as:

   High Performance
       Uses the fast XS/C HTTP header parser

   Preforking
       Spawns workers preforked like most high performance UNIX servers do.
       Starman also reaps dead children and automatically restarts the
       worker pool.

   Signals
       Supports "HUP" for graceful restarts, and "TTIN"/"TTOU" to
       dynamically increase or decrease the number of worker processes.

   Superdaemon aware
       Supports Server::Starter for hot deploy and graceful restarts.

   Multiple interfaces and UNIX Domain Socket support
       Able to listen on multiple intefaces including UNIX sockets.

   Small memory footprint
       Preloading the applications enables copy-on-write friendly memory
       management. Also, the minimum memory usage Starman requires for the
       master process is 7MB and children (workers) is less than 3.0MB.

   PSGI compatible
       Can run any PSGI applications and frameworks

   HTTP/1.1 support
       Supports chunked requests and responses, keep-alive and pipeline
       requests.

PERFORMANCE
   Here's a simple benchmark using "Hello.psgi".

     -- server: Starman
     Requests per second:    6413.87 [#/sec] (mean)
     -- server: AnyEvent
     Requests per second:    3911.78 [#/sec] (mean)
     -- server: AnyEvent::HTTPD
     Requests per second:    2738.49 [#/sec] (mean)
     -- server: Standalone
     Requests per second:    1045.66 [#/sec] (mean)
     -- server: Standalone (prefork)
     Requests per second:    2792.99 [#/sec] (mean)
     -- server: HTTP::Server::Simple
     Requests per second:    1435.50 [#/sec] (mean)
     -- server: Coro
     Requests per second:    2332.00 [#/sec] (mean)
     -- server: POE
     Requests per second:    503.59 [#/sec] (mean)

   This benchmark was processed with "ab -c 10 -t 1 -k" on MacBook Pro 13"
   late 2009 model on Mac OS X 10.6.2 with perl 5.10.0. YMMV.

NAMING
 Starman?
   The name Starman is taken from the song (*Star na Otoko*) by the
   Japanese rock band Unicorn. It's also a power-up from Super Mario
   Brothers and a character from the video game Earthbound.

 Why the cute name instead of more descriptive namespace? Are you on drugs?
   I'm sick of naming Perl software like
   HTTP::Server::PSGI::How::Its::Written::With::What::Module and people
   call it HSSPHIWWWM on IRC. It's hard to say on speeches and newbies
   would ask questions what they stand for every day. That's crazy.

   This module actually includes the longer alias and an empty subclass
   HTTP::Server::PSGI::Net::Server::PreFork for those who like to type more
   ::'s. It would actually help you find this software by searching for
   *PSGI Server Prefork* on CPAN, which i believe is a good thing.

   Yes, maybe I'm on drugs. We'll see.
