# NAME

Port::Selector - pick some unused port

# SYNOPSIS

    my $port_sel = Port::Selector->new();

    $port_sel->port();

# DESCRIPTION

This module is used to find a free port,

by default in the range 49152 to 65535,

but you can change the range of ports that will be checked.

# METHODS

## new(%attributes)

### %attributes

#### min

lowest numbered port to consider

default _49152_

The range 49152-65535 is commonly used by applications that utilize a

dynamic/random/configurable port.

#### max

highest numbered port to consider

default _65535_

#### proto

socket protocol

default _tcp_

#### addr

local address

default _localhost_

## port()

Tries to find an unused port from `min`-`max` ports range,

checking each port in turn until it finds an available one.

# SEE ALSO

[Net::EmptyPort](https://metacpan.org/pod/Net::EmptyPort) (part of the `Test-TCP` distribution,

provides a function `empty_port`

which does the same thing as the `port` method in this module.
