Re: PSGI, Plack, Twiggy, AnyEvent and SockJS... I need help

In your code, you create the callback timer and immediately discard it, which prevents the timer from ever getting called:

sub {
...
            my $w = AnyEvent->timer(
                after => 0,
                interval => 5,
                cb => sub {
                    $session->write('5 seconds have passed');
                    $w_cond->send();
                }
            };
}

You need to keep $w alive until the timer has fired. The easiest way is the following pattern:

...
            my $w; $w = AnyEvent->timer(
                after => 0,
                interval => 5,
                cb => sub {
                    undef $w; # cleanup!
                    $session->write('5 seconds have passed');
                    $w_cond->send();
                }
            };
...

That way, the timer stays alive until it has fired.
