POE-Component-IKC

POE-Component-IKC is a project mainly written in Perl, it's free.

Unofficial repo for software vendoring or packaging purposes

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 use IKC full time on my sites (for example, http://www.camelot.ca/) so I'd say it is "stable enough if you know what you're doing", even if it doesn't implement my full original vision. I use IKC::ClientLite in mod_perl to talk to POE-based "application servers".
