Although using the conventional LWP::UserAgent is fast and easy it does have
|
|
some drawbacks - the code execution blocks until the request has been
|
|
completed and it is only possible to process one request at a time.
|
|
HTTP::Async attempts to address these limitations.
|
|
|
|
It gives you a 'Async' object that you can add requests to, and then get the
|
|
requests off as they finish. The actual sending and receiving of the
|
|
requests is abstracted. As soon as you add a request it is transmitted, if
|
|
there are too many requests in progress at the moment they are queued. There
|
|
is no concept of starting or stopping - it runs continuously.
