=head1 NAME

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

=head1 SYNOPSIS

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

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

    my @types = qw(PreFork Fork Single);

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

=head1 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.

=head1 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'

=over 4

=item 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

=head1 CONFIGURATION FILE
