can someone draw me a picture here.
Perl and PHP type connection environments are very short lived by nature.
you connect - do some work and disconnect. If you are disconnected, you are
no registered for an event. So you connect, register, do some work,
unregister and/or disconnect. You spend more time disconnected (unregistered
for an event) than you do connected and registered.
Are there environments in perl/php which rely on holding/looping states
which allow persistent connections long enough for registering against
events to make sense?
