Net-Server-Framework Net::Server::Framework is the result of many iterations of backend daemon programming. I use the Net::Server::PreFork code for some years now and wrote some libs around it. This is an attempt to take those libs and release them. The challenge for me is to isolate all the additions, clean them up and pack them into one framework that installs nicely. The purpose of this framework is an easy to use event driven and scalable infrastructure that you can use to run multiple daemons doing specific things. There are some key parts in this setup. The central registry is used to register each daemon with its connection info (UNIX socket or IP/port). The client library resolves daemon names with this registry to connection information. The client lib supports both, synchronous and asynchronous connection handling via a cache daemon. This version uses SQLite as the standard DB. Most parameters in the system (including the database type) are configurable via INI style config files. This framework is used in some quite busy environments and some things might look strange but are the result of optimization or problems we ran into when scaling. One such thing is the DB abstraction which is tuned for the least possible overhead (memory and cpu wise).
