i have an nice event kernel we can play with. better code than
Event.pm. it is generic, uses control blocks and can be extended to
handle solaris/bsd/vms/redmond async file i/o. it has a clean api but it
does do its own memory management (block allocation and linked list
stuff) which would might need to be removed or something.

should i try to put it up somewhere to be looked at? i have no issues
with it being a prototype and then being ripped to shreds. it has been
proven very stable in use.

sounds good. we need to experiment with that as well as event
stuff. does anyone have working code that does async file i/o on
solaris? or on the other OSs?
