Re: POE scalability vs. forking

[Nick Perez]

From my own experience using ithreads versus POE with Wheel::Run and 
without Wheel::Run with similar scripts that slam a server for requests 
with a uniprocessor machine, there isn't much difference other than POE 
provides a framework and some pretty slick pre-built components from the 
community that make very trivial work of writing load testers.

Not exactly what you are looking for, but I guess we need to know what 
kind of hardware the tester will be running on to really tell you which 
will be better.

POE can fork, look at the POE::Wheel::Run module or POE::Component::Child.  
These modules can do forking and management of those children.

Thanks for the reply.  But I am looking for the "exclusive or" ;) 
Either using forks (outside of POE), or using POE and making use of the event loop (without forking)
