I have not looked at all at how much work it would be, but I think it
might be worthwhile to see how hard it would be to write an
AnyEvent::Impl::Tkx module. That would allow it to be used with any
module that uses the AnyEvent interface to event loops. I see that
XML::RPC::Fast does have an XML::RPC::UA::AnyEvent adapter, but don't
know if XML::RPC::Fast has the right features for you.
