1088
1089Implement event-based interfaces to the protocols of the same name (for
1090the curious, IGS is the International Go Server and FCP is the Freenet
1091Client Protocol).
1092
1093=item L<AnyEvent::Handle::UDP>
1094
1095Here be danger!
1096
1097As Pauli would put it, "Not only is it not right, it's not even wrong!" -
1098there are so many things wrong with AnyEvent::Handle::UDP, most notably
1099it's use of a stream-based API with a protocol that isn't streamable, that
1100the only way to improve it is to delete it.
1101
1102It features data corruption (but typically only under load) and general
1103confusion. On top, the author is not only clueless about UDP but also
1104fact-resistant - some gems of his understanding: "connect doesn't work
1105with UDP", "UDP packets are not IP packets", "UDP only has datagrams, not
1106packets", "I don't need to implement proper error checking as UDP doesn't
1107support error checking" and so on - he doesn't even understand what's
1108wrong with his module when it is explained to him.
1109
1087=item L<AnyEvent::HTTP> 1110=item L<AnyEvent::DBI>
1088 1111
1089A simple-to-use HTTP library that is capable of making a lot of concurrent 1112Executes L<DBI> requests asynchronously in a proxy process for you,
1090HTTP requests. 1113notifying you in an event-bnased way when the operation is finished.
1114
1115=item L<AnyEvent::AIO>
1116
1117Truly asynchronous (as opposed to non-blocking) I/O, should be in the
1118toolbox of every event programmer. AnyEvent::AIO transparently fuses
1119L<IO::AIO> and AnyEvent together, giving AnyEvent access to event-based
1120file I/O, and much more.
1091 1121
1092=item L<AnyEvent::HTTPD> 1122=item L<AnyEvent::HTTPD>
1093 1123
1094Provides a simple web application server framework. 1124A simple embedded webserver.

1097 1127
1098The fastest ping in the west. 1128The fastest ping in the west.

1102Executes L<DBI> requests asynchronously in a proxy process.

1104=item L<AnyEvent::AIO>
1105
1106Truly asynchronous I/O, should be in the toolbox of every event
1107programmer. AnyEvent::AIO transparently fuses L<IO::AIO> and AnyEvent
1108together.
1109
1110=item L<AnyEvent::BDB>
1111
1112Truly asynchronous Berkeley DB access. AnyEvent::BDB transparently fuses
1113L<BDB> and AnyEvent together.
1114
1115=item L<AnyEvent::GPSD>
1116
1117A non-blocking interface to gpsd, a daemon delivering GPS information.
1118
1119=item L<AnyEvent::IRC>
1120
1121AnyEvent based IRC client module family (replacing the older Net::IRC3).
1122
1123=item L<AnyEvent::XMPP>
1124
1125AnyEvent based XMPP (Jabber protocol) module family (replacing the older
1126Net::XMPP2>.
1127
1128=item L<AnyEvent::IGS>
1129
1130A non-blocking interface to the Internet Go Server protocol (used by
1131L<App::IGS>).
1132
1133=item L<Net::FCP>
1134
1135AnyEvent-based implementation of the Freenet Client Protocol, birthplace
1136of AnyEvent.
1137
1138=item L<Event::ExecFlow>
1139
1140High level API for event-based execution flow control.
