This module provides an interface to libev
|
||
|
|
(http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html). While the documentation is
|
||
|
|
comprehensive, one might also consult the documentation of libev itself
|
||
|
|
(http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/libev/ev.pod or perldoc EV::libev)
|
||
|
|
for more subtle details on watcher semantics or some discussion on the
|
||
|
|
available backends, or how to force a specific backend with LIBEV_FLAGS,
|
||
|
|
or just about in any case because it has much more detailed information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This module is very fast and scalable. It is actually so fast that you can
|
||
|
|
use it through the AnyEvent module, stay portable to other event loops (if
|
||
|
|
you don't rely on any watcher types not available through it) and still be
|
||
|
|
faster than with any other event loop currently supported in Perl.
