AnyEvent (5.11)

The most perlish distribution I've seen for a long time

AnyEvent (3.0)

I'm using AnyEvent for around 2 years now. My modules Net::IRC3,
Net::XMPP2, AnyEvent::HTTPD (will soon be released) and Text::Edit
use it for their I/O events. It has been very stable for quite some
time now, and all bugs I occasionally found and reported have been fixed very quickly.

I also like that it doesn't enforce a framework upon me, like POE or
IO::Async would do. You just create some watchers for the events you
like, specify the callbacks and you are ready to go.

The documentation is a good reference and also comes with useful
examples. It's also very good that all quirks in the interface
are nicely documented. For example the exact behavior of C<wait>
or C<broadcast>.

I give 5 overall stars as it proved to be stable, is very easy
to use and I consider it a very good policy free alternative to
all other event frameworks.
