DESCRIPTION
    "AOLserver::CtrlPort" uses "Net::Telnet" to connect to a running
    AOLserver's control port, issues commands there and returns the output.

    It is useful for creating test suites for AOLserver applications which
    can be controlled via the control port.

    To configure AOLserver's control port, use settings similar to the
    following ones:

        ns_section "ns/server/${servername}/module/nscp"
            ns_param address myhostname
            ns_param port 3334
            ns_param echopassword 1
            ns_param cpcmdlogging 1

        ns_section "ns/server/${servername}/module/nscp/users"
            ns_param user "username:3G5/H31peci.o:"
                               # That's "username:password"

        ns_section "ns/server/${servername}/modules"
            ns_param nscp ${bindir}/nscp.so

    This lets AOLserver enable the control port on server "myhostname" on
    port 3334. Authentication is on, the username is "username" and the
    password is "password" (hashed to "3G5/H31peci.o" with a program like
    "htpasswd").

  METHODS
    AOLserver::CtrlPort->new(...)
        Creates a new control port client object. The following options are
        available to the constructor:

        Port
            The port AOLserver is listening to for control port commands.

        Host
            The control port "address" as defined in the configuration.

        Timeout
            Number of seconds after which the client will time out if the
            server doesn't send a response.

        User
            User name for control port login defaults to the empty string
            for non-protected control ports.

        Password
            Password for control port login defaults to the empty string for
            non-protected control ports.

C<AOLserver::CtrlPort> uses C<Net::Telnet> to connect to a running
AOLserver's control port, issues commands there and returns the 
output.

It is useful for creating test suites for AOLserver applications which
can be controlled via the control port. 

To configure AOLserver's control port, use settings similar to the following

        ns_param address myhostname
        ns_param port 3334

    ns_section "ns/server/${servername}/module/nscp/users"
        ns_param user "username:3G5/H31peci.o:"
                           # That's "username:password"

    ns_section "ns/server/${servername}/modules"
        ns_param nscp ${bindir}/nscp.so

This lets AOLserver enable the control port on server C<myhostname> on port
3334. Authentication is on, the username is C<username> and the
password is C<password> (hashed to C<3G5/H31peci.o> with a program
like C<htpasswd>).
