Monks,

I want to set up distributed (as in over the network) event broadcasting.

Just basically publish/subscribe eventing. Like you get with Microsoft Message Queue.

Example "subscriber" code:

My::EventManager->observe( 'foo.on_mobble' => sub {
  my $event = shift;

  my $foo = $event->src;
  # Do stuff to $foo
});
[download]

Example "publisher" code:

# Let anyone who cares know that $foo has just mobbled.
$foo->notify( event => 'foo.on_mobble' );
[download]

I have done this a hundred times on the same machine, and I have this working with multiple machines, but currently my events are serialized to a database that is constantly queried by my "subscribers."

It would be great if I could have something like memcached that would just magically tell all the other machines that "Event XYZ has just happened."

So to make myself clear, I'm looking for a "MultiCast" eventing tool. Where do I start?
