I wanted to pop into this conversation briefly... I wrote a napster server using POE and a module I called POE::Filter::LittleEndian (before I had really tinkered with PoCo::IRC). I believe most of that code is available on http://envy.posixnap.net/~alex/perlcode/, but I could be mistaken (theres some odd proxy/firewall issue with that site)... Unfortunately it really was only able to handle about 250 connections before it became so slow as to become useless. The machine in question was able to run OpenNap (the C alternative) at greater than 3300 users (where it eventually filled up 512mb of ram, not the cpu). So while I admire the project (and I've thought of writing an IRC server myself, as I like bahamut but dislike not being able to hack on it), I'd like to inject a little caution ... useful as Services, probably. Not particularly useful as a drop-in for an ircd however. This strikes me as unfortunate. I'd love to contribute if I can however. Alex
