Hi All,
I've looked at Net::Server (and have my "new" server with some 20K lines of code written in it that we're currently finalising), POE, and a few other things, but I cannot find what I am looking for. I'm hoping for some assistance / pointers please. I am looking for the following simple scenario. On the server side, read data through the socket (for simplicity, let's say "commands" are terminated by \n) On the client side, send numerous commands to the server, WITHOUT waiting for a response - that's simple enough. Now, let's say the server sleep($randomtime) between commands to simulate a work load. I effectively want the following C> Do 1 C> Do 2 S> Done 1 C> Do 3 C> Do 4 S> Done 4 S> Done 2 S> Done 3 I know this sounds simple, but can anyone give a rough example of the server code (even if it's just an echo with a random sleep). For the love of. I cannot seem to stop the synchronous nature of POE, or Net::Server. The whole wait for input, deal with input, write output thing is really blocking my application's performance, seriously, at this point in time. I need to be truly asynchronous. I need to also preferably need to use PreForks. The application needs to deal with some 500Mbps in terms of bandwidth on the sockets, and a good amount of thousands of concurrent connections. Again, I'm not sure whether Net::Server will scale (we're developing / debugging currently, whilst in production we currently use xinetd). Many thanks, Chris.
