Yeah, all of them bring serious problems to the table, Coro supposedly segfaults in multitude of situations. fork would be nice, but exchanging data between children, moving sockets between then (I have no idea if it's possible to pass SSL socket in any way...) etc is not a trivial task. And managing a pool of processes is a tedious task, I already asked perlmonks about that,but there were no interesting answers (besides the usual POE fanboy fanfare). Threads would be in randomly failing department, additionally there are way to many flavors, each with it's own set of problems, advantages and disadvantages. Anyhoo, I don't need concurrency, if anything, I might use some form of cooperative multitasking, but it may be that there's no such solution outthere
