NAME

IOMux::Poll - simplify use of poll()

INHERITANCE

IOMux::Poll
  is a IOMux

SYNOPSIS

use IOMux::Poll;

my $mux    = IOMux::Poll->new;
my $server = IOMux::Service::TCP->new(...);
$mux->add($server);
$mux->loop;

DESCRIPTION

Multiplexer based on the poll() system call, defined by POSIX.

The poll has less administration overhead than the select call (implemented via IOMux::Select) because it avoids the need to play with bit-vectors to see which file handles got activated. However, poll is not supported on all platforms.
