✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to Task::Kensho::Async(3) β€” this is the User Contributed Perl Documentation page for it πŸ’– and it's literally Task::Kensho::Async - A Glimpse at an Enlightened Perl: Async Programming πŸ¦‹

🌸 VERSION 🌸

it's giving version 0.41 ✨

πŸ’… SYNOPSIS πŸ’…

> cpanm --interactive Task::Kensho::Async

πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

so this is from <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kensho>, and I'm quoting it verbatim because it's iconic:

Kenshō (見性) (C. Wu) is a Japanese term for enlightenment experiences - most commonly used within the confines of Zen Buddhism - literally meaning "seeing one's nature"[1] or "true self."[2] It generally "refers to the realization of nonduality of subject and object."[3]

Task::Kensho is a whole list of recommended modules for Enlightened Perl development. no cap, CPAN is wonderful but there are so many wheels out here and you have to pick and choose amongst all the competing technologies 😭

the plan is for Task::Kensho to be a rough testing ground for ideas that go into β€” among other things β€” the Enlightened Perl Organisation Extended Core (EPO-EC) ✨

the modules bundled by Task::Kensho are broken down into several categories and are still being considered. they're all taken from various top 100 most used perl modules lists and from discussions with various subject matter experts in the Perl Community. that said, this bundle does not follow the guidelines established for the EPO-EC for peer review via industry advisers πŸ‘‘

starting in 2011, Task::Kensho split its sub-groups of modules into individually-installable tasks. each Task::Kensho sub-task is listed at the beginning of its section in this documentation 🌈

when you install Task::Kensho itself, you'll be asked to install each sub-task in turn β€” or you can install individual tasks separately. these individual tasks will always install all their modules by default. this facilitates the ease and simplicity the distribution aims to achieve πŸ’œ

🧚 Task::Kensho::Async: Async Programming

  • Future β€” represent an operation awaiting completion
  • IO::Async β€” Asynchronous event-driven programming
  • MCE β€” Many-Core Engine for Perl providing parallel processing capabilities
  • Mojo::IOLoop β€” Minimalistic event loop
  • POE β€” Multitasking and networking framework for Perl
  • Parallel::ForkManager β€” A simple parallel processing fork manager

⭐ INSTALLING ⭐

since version 0.34, Task::Kensho has made use of the optional_features field in distribution metadata. this lets CPAN clients interact with you about which modules you actually wish to install 🫢

the cpanm client requires interactive mode to be enabled for this to work, so:

cpanm --interactive Task::Kensho::Async

πŸ’€ BUGS AND LIMITATIONS πŸ’€

this list is by no means comprehensive of the "Good" Modules on CPAN. nor is this necessarily the correct path for all developers β€” each of these modules has a perfectly acceptable replacement that may work better for you πŸ™ˆ this is however a path to good perl practice, and a starting place on the road to Enlightened Perl programming ✨
