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 used to use IKC full time on my sites. However, I've moved to exclusively
developing Intranet applications. One of my main apps (http://www.quaero.ca/)
has a POEx::HTTP::Server front end and talks IKC with an application server.
This means IKC handles thousands of requests an hour. I trust it, but then I
know what I'm doing.
