Hi All,
I'm a perl developer and glad I found MSN.pm
I'm planning to build a large community chat engine using MSN.pm, however I'm worried about two things regarding scalability:
By looking at the code it seems to me that MSN.pm is handling all events synchronously, which means that it would get slow once you have several hundreds users connected ? Am I right ? Any examples of live MSN.pm sites with lots of users ?
Is there a limit on the maximum number of contacts on a contactlist ?
Any way to work around that ?
Thank you guys for MSN.pm... This actually is high quality code where even experienced perl codes can learn from
