Almost. One of the biggest problems I see is that one can't register a
socket with AsyncLoop.pm. Thereby, when DNS lookups are finished, the whole
loop stops regardless of outstanding non-DNS-based lookups.
See sub complete_lookups in AsyncLoop.pm:
eval {
my $nfound = $self->{main}->{resolver}->poll_responses($timeout);
$nfound ||= 'no';
dbg ("async: select found $nfound socks ready");
foreach my $key (keys %{$pending}) {
my $ent = $pending->{$key};
poll_responsens is in DnsResolver.pm and yield 0 when DNS queries are
finished. This causes the complete_lookups call to terminate all the
outstanding lookups, even the non-DNS-based ones.
Does anybody knows which is the API to the async stuff? Maybe I didn't get
it at all and I'm attempting to use it the wrong way...
