Hi Joshua, Congrats on the Event.pm 1.0 release! Pretty cool module... We have a lot of daemons, both pre-forking and select/poll-based, which are stretching our resources (the forking ones because the overhead of thousands of processes is enormous, the select/poll ones because of the well-known performance probs with these approaches). We have been planning to write a wrapper for libevent so we can benefit from the performance of epoll on Linux. Would Event.pm provide similar performance? If not, is it possible that Event.pm might be able to use epoll or libevent at some point in the future to benefit from the kernel-level features? TIA, Jeremy -- Jeremy Howard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
