Thats not constructive or useful. I have / had my doubts of this getting answered on Perlmonks. Mostly because when you ask a perl person X they usually say, oh look, if you just do Y its better, usually for the sake of answering quickly. Ie your argument about time wasted makes no sense. Eg above, I asked how to accomplish this with AnyEvent, not POE. Do you have an answer in the slightest or are you just trolling?
