Hi Stefan,
The primary advantage I see is that whatever libcurl features that
Net::Curl exposes are now readily usable within Mojo. So libcurl’s http/2
support, for example, should be usable, as would non-HTTP protocols that
libcurl supports like FTP, IMAP, etc. (Possibly even the experimental http/3
support?)
Other potential advantages would be speed (XS/C versus pure Perl) and,
I would think, wider use: as much as Mojo is used in Perl, curl is used
practically everywhere, with bindings in Python, Ruby, Rust, etc.
The disadvantage is that you’ll need to use Net::Curl::Easy, which
isn’t a very Perlish interface. HTTP::AnyUA’s backend for same demonstrates how
to “tame the beast”, though, and Net::Curl’s own documentation is quite helpful
(IMO), so there’s at least copious prior art to reference.
I should disclaim here: I’ve not benchmarked this nor used it very
extensively beyond just verifying that it works for simple parallel GETs. That
said, since Net::Curl::Promiser is fairly simple, and Net::Curl itself has been
around for a while and remains actively maintained, whatever gremlins may still
lurk should be easy to find and fix.
