josh,
i am not dissatisfied with event.pm. i think it is a great module. but i
am trying to get complete support for events into the perl6 core (which
is happening) and that will require a different design than your code as
well as a new api.
on top of that, it would be great if event.pm would be portable to all
platforms and unfortunately it is not working on redmondware. so my
proposal was to start work on the perl6 event code in a experimental way
and at the same time create a new portable event loop. this would also
allow us to add desired features such as async file i/o support.
so please don't take my suggestion personally. i am just looking at the
larger picture and into the future.
thanx,
uri
