Sorry yeah I think I have it working, but our work data centre is down 
right now so I can't get at the files :-(

Will email the latest ones here when I get the chance.

And yes it was slower than Danga::Socket (despite EV being "fast", 
Danga::Socket hits directly to epoll, with very little API in the way, so 
ends up being faster) but Ask's point stands - there's more dev done 
around AnyEvent on CPAN.
