AE:: / EV:: compatible interface

[zzzcpan]

Since nginx 1.1 is going stable soon ( http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/roadmap ) it makes sense to consider implementing partial support for AE::. It's probably going to be just AE::io and AE::timer. Some things won't ever work, like blocking wait (condvars) and signal handling. So it's just for IO.

I'm closing this issue. There will be some low-level access but it won't be compatible with AE, sorry guys.
Nginx has a simple abstraction for each connection (ngx_connection_t) which allows it to send and receive data transparently over SSL, detect stale events and so on. AE doesn't have this. So it has to be a higher-level abstraction.

so there is no way to use async CPAN module inside nginx-perl? We must rewrite nginx-perl special module for everything?

[zzzcpan]

Yes, you are correct. But I wouldn't advice you to use nginx-perl for something complex anyway. It's ok for quick solutions and really hard for anything more.

O...then it's make no sense because there is ngx_lua and the original nginx
perl module is enough for quick solutions.
