How to get methods from HTTP::Daemon

Question

How can I find out the $code and $mess in HTTP::Daemon module? In cpan the usage is as

$c->send_status_line( $code, $mess, $proto )

but I dont know where/how to get $code, $mess from.

Like, send_error($code) is used as send_error(RC_FORBIDDEN) which I found from someone's code online, where did he get RC_FORBIDDEN from? Have been playing with the following code. Sorry for the formatting and many thanks to @choroba for formatting it for me.

    use warnings;
    use strict;
    use HTTP::Daemon;
    use HTTP::Status;
    use LWP;

    my $daemon = HTTP::Daemon->new or die;
    my $d = HTTP::Daemon->new(
    LocalAddr => '0.0.0.0',
    LocalPort => '5000',
    );
    printf ("\n\n   URL of webserver is %s, show this script with %stest\n", 
    $d->url, $d->url);

    while (my $client_connection = $d->accept)  
            {
                new_connection($client_connection);
            }
    sub new_connection 
    { 
    my $client_connection = shift;
    printf "new connection\n";
    while (my $request = $client_connection->get_request) 
    {
        if (my $pid = fork)
            {
                print "Child created : $pid\n";
            }
        elsif (!defined $pid)
            {
                die "Cannot fork $!\n";
            }
        else
            {
                my $address_of_client = $client_connection->peerhost();
                my $port_of_client = $client_connection->peerport();
    print "Connection from client $address_of_client on port 
    $port_of_client\n";
                print "  request\n";
                    if ($request->method eq 'GET' and $request->uri->path 
    eq "/test") 
                        {
                            $client_connection->send_file_response(RC_OK);
                            #$client_connection->send_status_line(200);
                            #print "OK ";
                            #$client_connection->send_file_response($0);
                        }
                    else 
                        {
                            $client_connection->send_error(RC_NOT_FOUND);
                        }
            }
    $client_connection->close;
    } 
   }

The documentation also states

If $code is omitted 200 is assumed. If $mess is omitted, then a message corresponding to $code is inserted. If $proto is missing the content of the $HTTP::Daemon::PROTO variable is used.

So, you don't have to specify the arguments at all. Otherwise, just use any of the possible HTTP status codes for $code, and either don't specify the $mess to get the default message for the code, or use any message you like.

RC_FORBIDEN is exported from HTTP::Status.
