Hey monks, I am little bit confused of all the RabbitMQ interfaces available for Perl. I'm currently using Net::RabbitFoot which has it last update back in 2011 and Net::RabbitFoot performance compared to Net::AMQP::RabbitMQ seems to be 4 times slower. So I am trying to migrate my code to Net::AMQP::RabbitMQ which uses librammitmq underneath. What I am currently struggling with, is how to run periodic task, since $mq->recv() is blocking. With Net::RabbitFoot I currently do something similar: 
my $ae = AnyEvent->timer (
   after => 5,
   interval => 60,
   cb => \&logStats,
);

my $rf = Net::RabbitFoot->new()->load_xml_spec()->connect(
    host    => 'localhost',
    port    => 5672,
    user    => 'guest',
    pass    => 'guest',
    vhost   => '/',
    timeout => 1,
);

...
open channel and define on_consume handler
... 

AnyEvent->condvar->recv;

So I am wondering how can I achieve the same using Net::AMQP::RabbitMQ. Thanks.
