Mojolicious hack of the day: More AnyEvent, oh my
Ever since we added AnyEvent support to Mojolicious through EV, it has been a very popular feature. But so far it required Mojolicious to be in control of the event loop, which limited its usefulness quite a bit. That has changed now, both our web server and user agent have become pretty much indistiguishable from normal AnyEvent components. Today i’m going to demonstrate how you can non-blockingly search Twitter for Perl with the user agent, from a PSGI application running inside the AnyEvent based Twiggy web server. In fact, it should work with any non-blocking capable web framework, such as Catalyst.
Have fun!
