Thanks for the kind words, Foo!
We're talking to the Director of Development here guys... :)
Hehe, don't let titles mislead you :)
BTW, we are always looking for bright people to join our team. So if you
want to work in a fun team, have challenging projects and like Vancouver,
BC drop me a note!
Here at mailchannels.com we have first used mp2 to handle the email
traffic shaping entirely inside mod_perl2, but the nature of our product
is so different from serving HTTP, it just won't scale (mostly
memory-wise, but also too many processes). We have now switched to having
Event::Lib (over libevent) doing all the non-blocking IO and using mp2's
protocol handler to do blocking IO (like network-bound operations). The
performance is just amazing, hardly any memory used and we can easily
handle a thousand concurrent connections on very low-end hardware.
Switching to event based flow was a challenge, since you no longer have
the normal logic flow. But we have written a few abstraction layers and
now it's almost easy. We are planning to release our AsyncIO abstraction
module on CPAN once we have some spare resources.
I highly recommend Event::Lib, at least for its wonderful maintainer:
Tassilo von Parseval, who's a great perl/C/XS expert and who is resolving
any problems with Event::Lib almost as soon as we are posting the bug
reports. I wish more CPAN authors were as responsive as Tassilo is :)
