| eydaimon | Randal: whats a good alternative option? |
| Caelum | maybe I'll finally read man perlthrtut today, I've been meaning to for years :) |
| Randal | it's a marker. eydaimon - anything but threads. :) eydaimon - see poe.perl.org poe creates "threads" that really work well |
| eydaimon | cheers |
| mrpengu1n | i guess i'm not litrate QtPlatypus |
| hobbs | eydaimon: depending on the app, there's POE, there's straight up select loops, there's Event. |
| mrpengu1n | litrate |
| Caelum | eydaimon: also there's the forks module on CPAN |
| QtPlatypus | By using "u" you put yourself outside the culture of this irc channel and advertize that your an outsider. |
| mrpengu1n | hey listen you cant even spell right |
| Randal | s/your/you're/ heh |
| mrpengu1n | QtPlatypus, |
| Randal | mrpengu1n - you're the outsider here |
| mrpengu1n | advertize isnt even a word |
| Randal | if you don't want to fit in, feel free. |
| action | QtPlatypus nods "I know that I can't spell" |
| QtPlatypus | nods "I know that I can't spell" |
| eydaimon | specifically I need to have a pool of workers rotating on jobs is that something poe can do for me? |
| Randal | eydaimon- yes, there are some good models in POE to do that |
| mrpengu1n | why would you criticize someone for knowlingy spelling words a different way? |
| Patterner | eydaimon: yes |
| jagerman | On that topic, is there any timetable for making Perl's threading implementation less sucky? |
| eydaimon | iow, I want 10 copies going, and as copies finish, others copies should start |
| Caelum | eydaimon: sure, with POE::Wheel::Run |
| eydaimon | ok, thanks |
| signuts | can we vote to rate limit mrpengu1n , this is too fast for my old eyes :) |
| hobbs | mrpengu1n: actually that's only a marginally nonstandard usage. -ise/-ize is in constant flux. |
| Khisanth | jagerman: perl6? |
| Randal | there's POE::Worker or something like that queue of tasks, constantly doing N of them |
| Patterner | I thought -ise is british and -ize american english... |
| mrpengu1n | hobbs, this isnt britain |
| jagerman | Khisanth: Will it happen? |
| hobbs | Patterner: that's only a rough trend :) |
| mrpengu1n | in american we say advertise |
