You're right, there's no benchmarks, thanks for the tip, I'll go for that. As for the lambda, it seemed somewhat natural for me back then - anonymous callback bound to IO... OTOH there would be no problem to make the lambda keyword an alias to another, less confusing name, so the only question is what that name should be? new_io_chain ? Doesn't sound... don't know really.

update: here's some premature benchmarks. the source code will be added to the next release, for now it's here

Single-process tcp client and server; server echoes back everything is sent by the client. 500 connections sequentially created, instructed to send a single line to the server, and destroyed.

                        2.4GHz x86-64 linux
  Lambda using select       0.694 sec
  Lambda using AnyEvent     0.684 sec
  Raw sockets using select  0.145 sec
  POE using select          5.349 sec

the POE numbers are somewhat strange. I might've done something wrong there, anyone interested is welcome to check tcp-poe.pl from the link above.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
