This a first draft if Inter-Kernel Communication for POE. It is intended
as a point of reference for discusion of issues involved.
As "Mythical Man Month" says : Plan to throw one away.
You will need the latest version of POE. IKC has a sneaky way of
discovering bugs and lacunae in POE :)
Quick test :
perl Makefile.PL
make
/server & ./client
.. and wait
Better yet, run ./server and ./client in seperate windows. ./client should
output a . every 10 seconds. Running many clients will give you an idea of
the overhead :)
STABILITY
I use IKC full time on my sites (for example,
http://www.camelot.ca/) so I'd
say it is "stable enough if you know what you're doing", even if it doesn't
implement my full original vision. I use IKC::ClientLite in mod_perl to
talk to POE-based "application servers".
