FYI, I have some preliminary results, and it looks like I'm doing about 2-3x the connection handling speed of the pure perl competition depending on a lot of little variables. The results in the module distribution will of course have to include more details, and I'll leave the benchmarking script in the module too:

Linux::TCPServer - 100 connections per child process:

    ** siege 2.64
    ** Preparing 3 concurrent users for battle.
    The server is now under siege..      done.
    Transactions:                  15000 hits
    Availability:                 100.00 %
