> Can you compare/contrast with Event-tcp?
This is difficult because I did not use Event::tcp yet. I discovered it in
version 0.07 and load down that release. Honestly spoken, this time I already
had IPC::LDT. I found that Event::tcp was not exactly what I need for my
system so I did not install it.
Now to answer your question and to try a comparison, I load down an up to date
release (0.14). It needs a module Ioctl which I cannot find on CPAN so I could
not run the tests. And I found it hard to see what it does exactly because
there is only a short documentation. Having said this, it seems to me that
Event::tcp implements an RPC model while IPC::LDT is a low level protocol
which might be used for all kinds of application protocols, not only RPC. My
c/s design, for example, does not use RPC, I implemeted a flexible command
protocol instead.
