Hi folks,
Last week I hacked up Danga::Socket and re-implemented its event loop in
terms of AnyEvent. The resulting (experimental) module is here:
http://search.cpan.org/~mart/Danga-Socket-AnyEvent-0.01_01/
This allows DJabberd to, in theory, run in any event loop supported by
AnyEvent, and more interestingly allows DJabberd plugins to make use of
AnyEvent protocol implementations.
I'd be interested to hear feedback from DJabberd users about how well
this works, any ways that it sucks compared to the original
Danga::Socket, etc.
You can force DJabberd run in this event loop by running it via:
perl -MDanga::Socket::AnyEvent djabberd
In the long term I think it'd be good to make AnyEvent the default event
loop API for DJabberd, since this will avoid the current sub-optimal
duplication of effort of implementing protocols in both Danga::Socket
and AnyEvent.
