=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
C<Net::Server::MultiType> allows for the use of a configuration file
to read in server parameters. The format of this conf file is simple
