Binary package “libanyevent-perl” in ubuntu precise

event loop framework with multiple implementations

 AnyEvent is not an event model itself, it only interfaces to whatever event
 model the main program happens to use, in a pragmatic way. For event models,
 the statement "there can only be one" is a bitter reality: In general, only
 one event loop can be active at the same time in a process. This module
 cannot change this, but it can hide the differences between them.
 .
 The goal of AnyEvent is to offer module authors the ability to do event
 programming (waiting for I/O or timer events) without subscribing to a
 religion, a way of living, and most importantly: without forcing your module
 users into the same thing by forcing them to use the same event model you use.
