PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
Don't use any modules by Marc Lehmann, you will almost certainly regret it later. This author has a history of extreme hostility towards the Perl community and will actively prevent you from using his software if he doesn't like you, or what you do with it.
To give you an example, in the 6.1 release of AnyEvent he made AnyEvent.pm die if you use it together with IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent. metacpan.org/source/MLEHMANN/AnyEvent...

Still broken on OS X 10.7. Author was notified and given patch to make it work, but instead of fixing, he tells users to manually install using a different compiler.

Horrible support. Author auto-responds with rant when RT ticket is created. Then ignores email requests. Somebody else had same issue as me and this was his response:

This is an awesome module. Marc has put in a ton of effort to make EV _work_, including finding, reporting and working around serious bugs in the linux kernel.
What really impresses me is how lightweight and fast it is, combined with an easy and elegant interface. If you're dealing with a lot of sockets, files, children, and/or timers asynchronously, EV most likely won't let you down.
I've used it in several projects and it's never acted weird or gotten in the way.
Thanks Marc, for this great module.
