Coro - the only real threads in perl
For a tutorial-style introduction, please read the Coro::Intro manpage. This manpage mainly contains reference information. This module collection manages continuations in general, most often in the form of cooperative threads (also called coros, or ...

Coro::EV - do events the coro-way, with EV
This module does two things: First, it offers some utility functions that might be useful for threads (although Coro::AnyEvent offers more and more portable functions), and secondly, it integrates Coro into the EV main loop: Before the process blocks...

Coro::BDB - truly asynchronous bdb access
This module is an AnyEvent user, you need to make sure that you use and run a supported event loop. This module implements a thin wrapper around the BDB module: Each BDB request that could block and doesn't get passed a callback will normally block a...

Coro::AIO - truly asynchronous file and directory I/O
This module is an AnyEvent user, you need to make sure that you use and run a supported event loop. This module implements a thin wrapper around IO::AIO. All of the functions that expect a callback are being wrapped by this module. The API is exactly...

Coro::LWP - make LWP non-blocking - as much as possible
This module is an AnyEvent user, you need to make sure that you use and run a supported event loop. This module tries to make LWP non-blocking with respect to other coroutines as much as possible, and with whatever means it takes. LWP really tries ve...

Coro::Util - various utility functions.
This module implements various utility functions, mostly replacing perl functions by non-blocking counterparts. Many of these functions exist for the sole purpose of emulating existing interfaces, no matter how bad or limited they are (e.g. no IPv6 s...

Coro::State - first class continuations
This module implements coro objects. Coros, similar to threads and continuations, allow you to run more than one "thread of execution" in parallel. Unlike so-called "kernel" threads, there is no parallelism and only voluntary switching is used so loc...

Coro::Event - do events the coro-way, with Event
This module enables you to create programs using the powerful Event model (and module), while retaining the linear style known from simple or threaded programs. This module provides a method and a function for every watcher type (*flavour*) (see Even...

Coro::Debug - various functions that help debugging Coro programs
This module is an AnyEvent user, you need to make sure that you use and run a supported event loop. This module provides some debugging facilities. Most will, if not handled carefully, severely compromise the security of your program, so use it only ...

Coro::Timer - timers and timeouts, independent of any event loop
This package has been mostly obsoleted by Coro::AnyEvent, the only really useful function left in here is "timeout". POD ERRORS Hey! The above document had some coding errors, which are explained below: Around line 6: =over is the last thing in the d...

Coro::Select - a (slow but coro-aware) replacement for CORE::select
This module tries to create a fully working replacement for perl's "select" built-in, using "AnyEvent" watchers to do the job, so other threads can run in parallel to any select user. As many libraries that only have a blocking API do not use global ...

Coro::Handle - non-blocking I/O with a blocking interface.
This module is an AnyEvent user, you need to make sure that you use and run a supported event loop. This module implements IO-handles in a coroutine-compatible way, that is, other coroutines can run while reads or writes block on the handle. It does ...

Coro::Signal - thread signals (binary semaphores)
This module implements signals/binary semaphores/condition variables (basically all the same thing). You can wait for a signal to occur or send it, in which case it will wake up one waiter, or it can be broadcast, waking up all waiters. It is recomme...

Coro::Socket - non-blocking socket-I/O
This module is an AnyEvent user, you need to make sure that you use and run a supported event loop. This module implements socket-handles in a coroutine-compatible way, that is, other coroutines can run while reads or writes block on the handle. See ...

Coro::RWLock - reader/write locks
This module implements reader/write locks. A read can be acquired for read by many coroutines in parallel as long as no writer has locked it (shared access). A single write lock can be acquired when no readers exist. RWLocks basically allow many conc...

Coro::Channel - message queues
A Coro::Channel is the equivalent of a unix pipe (and similar to amiga message ports): you can put things into it on one end and read things out of it from the other end. If the capacity of the Channel is maxed out writers will block. Both ends of a ...

Coro::AnyEvent - integrate threads into AnyEvent
When one naively starts to use threads in Perl, one will quickly run into the problem that threads which block on a syscall (sleeping, reading from a socket etc.) will block all threads. If one then uses an event loop, the problem is that the event l...

Coro::Storable - offer a more fine-grained Storable interface
This module implements a few functions from the Storable module in a way so that it cede's more often. Some applications (such as the Deliantra game server) sometimes need to load large Storable objects without blocking the server for a long time. Th...

Coro::Specific - manage coroutine-specific variables.
This module can be used to create variables (or better: references to them) that are specific to the currently executing coroutine. This module does not automatically load the Coro module (so the overhead will be small when no coroutines are used). A...
