The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

Changes for version 0.5 - 2013-04-06

  • set $SIG{CHLD} to IGNORE in processes forked to avoid accumulating zombies.
  • added "typical problems" section.
  • add some unscientific benchmark numbers to indicate relative performance.
  • post-benchmark socket writing optimisations :) (fewer syscalls, do more than one write per event loop iteration).
