NAME

IPC::Transit - A framework for high performance message passing

** DEVELOPER RELEASE **

SYNOPSIS

use strict;
use IPC::Transit;
IPC::Transit::send(qname => 'test', message => { a => 'b' });

#...the same or a different process on the same machine
my $message = IPC::Transit::receive(qname => 'test');

DESCRIPTION

** DEVELOPER RELEASE **

This is a proof of concept.

The file and serialization will not be considered set until version 0.1. More to the point, they will DEFINITELY change after this release.

This queue framework has the following goals:

  • Serverless

  • High Throughput

  • Usually Low Latency

  • Relatively Good Reliability

  • CPU and Memory efficient

  • Cross UNIX Implementation

  • Multiple Language Compability

  • Very few module dependencies

  • Supports old version of Perl

  • Feature stack is modular and optional

This queue framework has the following anti-goals:

  • Guaranteed Delivery

BUGS

Patches, flames, opinions, enhancement ideas are all welcome.

I am not satisfied with not supporting Windows, but it is considered secondary. I am open to the possibility of adding abstractions for this kind of support as long as it doesn't greatly affect the primary goals.
