NAME
    Net::Server::MultiType - Net::Server personality

SYNOPSIS
        use base qw(Net::Server::MultiType);

        sub process_request {
            #...code...
        }

        my @types = qw(PreFork Fork Single);

        Net::Server::MultiType->run(server_type => \@types);

DESCRIPTION
    Please read the pod on Net::Server first. This module is a personality, or extension, or sub
    class, of the Net::Server module.

    This personality is intended to allow for easy use of multiple Net::Server personalities. Given
    a list of server types, Net::Server::MultiType will require one at a time until it finds one
    that is installed on the system. It then adds that package to its @ISA, thus inheriting the
    methods of that personality.

ARGUMENTS
    In addition to the command line arguments of the Net::Server base class, Net::Server::MultiType
    contains one other configurable parameter.

        Key               Value            Default
        server_type       'server_type'    'Single'

    server_type
        May be called many times to build up an array or possible server_types. At execution,
        Net::Server::MultiType will find the first available one and then inherit the methods of
        that personality

CONFIGURATION FILE
    "Net::Server::MultiType" allows for the use of a configuration file to read in server
