Okay really sorry to bother you all. I found a better way of dealing with timers. Coupled tango's signal/slot implementation with its Selector abstraction (with timeout) and things work like a charm.

Hello all,

I'm looking for the right way to implement Javascript-like setInterval and setTimeout in D.

I don't want to use multiple threads + sleep as an implementation. It needs to be single threaded. I was thinking along the lines of creating a timer using ualarm/settimer and listening to SIGALARM. I want it to be efficient as i'll be using it for timing out HTTP requests.

Can someone guide me in the right direction?

Thanks for any help,
Shripad K.
