Sprocket
I recently released v0.07 of Sprocket, my Perl networking framework.
What's New
Some notable changes since v0.05 include:
Added a File Descripter passing utility module: Sprocket::Util::FDpasser which uses File::FDpasser
Spread integration; plugins can pubsub
Soft Shutdown
Observer hooks; attach callbacks to events by name
Log4perl logging
The file descriptor passer allows you to send or receive file handles across processes. This includes Sockets. For instance, Sprocket can now take connections from Apache for things like Cometd. See mod_handoff for the apache2 code. I have a partially working Sprocket::Server::FDreceiver module that will accept a socket from any process and inject it into the framework as if it handled the socket in the first place.
One point Oh
Don't let the version number fool you. It's not "1.0", but this framework is ready to help you get started on writing that server you've always wanted to write. v1.0 is on target for release in late December.
Getting Sprocket
You can download Sprocket, or get it using CPAN.pm:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Sprocket'
or you can check it out from svn:
svn co http://svn.xantus.org/sprocket/trunk/Sprocket/ sprocket
