POE::XS::Loop::EPoll - an XS implementation of POE::Loop, using Linux` epoll(2).
use POE::Kernel { loop => 'POE::XS::Loop::EPoll' };
This class is an implementation of the abstract POE::Loop interface written in C using the Linux epoll(2) family of system calls.
Signals are left to POE::Loop::PerlSignals.
The epoll_ctl() call returns an error when you attempt to poll regular files, POE::XS::Loop::EPoll emulate's poll(2)'s behaviour with regular files under Linux - ie. they're always readable/writeable.
If you see an error:
POE::XS::Loop::EPoll hasn't been initialized correctly
then the loop hasn't been loaded correctly, in POE <= 1.287 the following:
# this doesn't work use POE qw(XS::Loop::EPoll);
will not load the loop correctly, you will need to do:
use POE::Kernel { loop => 'POE::XS::Loop::EPoll' };
use POE;
POE, POE::Loop, POE::XS::Loop::Poll.
Relies upon small fd numbers, but then a lot of code does.
