Uh.. obviously, that's meant to be

I find lately I've been doing a lot of binary protocol work, taking
messages that live in TCP streams or files or similar, and doing lots of
pack()/unpack() on them.
I find what works best is to wrap up a message into an object, so I can
do things like:
my $field = $message-pull_int();

Hi:
What about http://search.cpan.org/~dlo/Proc-BackOff-0.02/lib/Proc/BackOff.pm
Proc::BackOff. It seems to implement a function similar to TCP packet
retry backoff...
The idea is that for every failure you wait X time before the next
request; the next time, you wait 2X. etc. But there is also
If a Perl patch can be made available for this purpose, then why not
