Re^4: threads and their alternatives

So far, I've only used AnyEvent for TCP and timers, and that works well on Windows. I suppose it works well enough with pipes, at least it has lots of Win32-specific code to create a selectable pipe on Win32. I haven't used AnyEvent::DBI, as I'd use a thread instead of an external process if I had the need to do asynchronous DB access on Windows, and the code looks as if it uses features like selectable filehandles, that just aren't conveniently available on Windows...

I haven't used AnyEvent::DBI, as I'd use a thread instead of an external process Then what would be the point of AnyEvent for the OPs problem? Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply]

My reply was more in regard to your statement that "there exists no solution" for calling blocking APIs (outside of threads), where I wanted to highlight that there exists no good solution (outside of threads).	[reply]
