Hi, I feel like the drop that spilled the cup! :-) Trust me: this subject of people looking for a miraculous non-bloking way to create sites is going to be bigger and bigger as a trending topic.
A few years ago, the biggest tech problem of a medium level site creator, was to find a cheap hosting. You fire a virtual server with the boxed LAMP and your were running. Today, even freelances and small design business make websites full of dinamic data and million records databases, served to tens of thousands of visitors. So everybody is looking for a better approach to handle this new scenario. And Mojolicious seems to be absolutely great. In my case, I come from the demised world of Flex/Flash/ActionScript world. Object oriented, event oriented and (more or less) compiled) warmth world. At that point, instead of learn what happened to PHP from version 3 I gave a try to Perl and Catalyst, both from scratch. Now I am a little blocked with Catalyst in some ways, but in almost two years I have built things with Catalyst that I never imagined that could come out from me. What bothers me is the same that will bother to a lot of newcomers: taking care of things like blocking, processes, unfinished processes, workers, instances, etc. Even mystical concepts as Plack, a "superglue" that I still do not know if I am using it or not when running Catalyst :-D Too much for people like me, without a deep understanding of the work of the giants on whose shoulders we are. People like me will that will arrive like hordes to every piece of software promising a non-blocking life. I have seen similar questions in Node.js and Wakanda forums. Yesterday, Ben van Staveren provided me a nice Gist with an example to solve my question. So if I can get in the non-blocking world with such a few pretty lines... I feel that I am in the right place. As Stefan says its not an easy matter for users. Even seems that Sebastian didn't created it from a mind trick. Before my post I tried some tutorials, but all of them seem to be "too pre-cooked" (like the one that uses Mango). That is why I chosen a generic Perl script and tried to make it non-blocking. The subsequent post from Ben was amazing from a technical point of view. I am still studying it. So a tutorial based on something like that would be great for all avid newcomers.
