Message Passing with Perl

Dana Diederich of LiveOps will be leading a discussion about an unusual method of message based programming in Perl. In the spirit of TIMTOWTDI (There Is More Than One Way To Do it), Dana will be presenting a new CPAN module that implements message passing using a venerable but still relevant mechanism. Key features of this methodology include seamless multi-processing without threads, clustering and highly scalable systems. The well-known and excellent POE module will also be lightly covered.
