Recommends: in control file. As I understand its documented behaviour, AnyEvent _does_ automagically benefit from those modules being available. EV is a backend. AnyEvent tries to pick best one available if none is declared explicitly, and RECOMMENDED/OPTIONAL MODULES hints at EV being the best one available. Async::Interrupt is according to RECOMMENDED/OPTIONAL MODULES used if available, for backends without a native signal watchers, as a better alternative to the builtin polling-each-10-seconds. Guards is documented to be used when used - but I suspect that to be a typo and really it is used when available (like Async::Interrupt). I have not investigated the actual AnyEvent code, though, so you might be right and instead the documentation is IMO misleading. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
