What perl libs?

Danga::Socket (used by perlbal and qpsmtpd),

Why not perlbal? I presume it doesn't do things that you want axkit2
to do, but what?

More flexible config, better hooks for http delivery, querystring parsing, the actual AxKit XML stuff. There's a bunch of things.

On the other hand I don't think there's any reason I shouldn't be able to do the perlbal stuff (i.e. mostly load balancing and proxying) within AxKit2's httpd. I figure if I can't do that then I haven't designed it right.

which uses IO::KQueue
for kqueue, and Sys::Syscall for epoll.

At the risk of being OT...

Is Danga::Socket  faster than opening a fifo pipe for reading and
immediately  forking when something is read, given that the
processing is fairly long winded after the read?

This is quite on-topic I think. The answer is it's much faster. There's a huge overhead in forking, and it just doesn't scale.

Matt.
