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
