Migrate to ZMQ.pm #24

Open pjf opened 10 years ago

pjf commented 10 years ago

The ZMQ module for Perl supports both ZMQ2 and ZMQ3. While there's a little work that's needed to do version-sniffing for things like send() and recv(), most of it's generic. It should be pretty easy for what we're doing to use it.

Word on the street is the ZMQx::Class will probably end up being the way to go eventually, as it should support both ZMQ3 and the freshly released ZMQ4, but that can be done later.

Leaving this open for now, because while travis is testing on ZMQ3, I don't think we're pushing packets yet.

52 Covers off a lot of discussion about ZMQ3/4. I read through ZMQ.pm at the time and it had taken into consideration the differences (I think the big one is multipart packets from memory). Either way, with #53 I can reliably push packets across both version 3 and 4. So in theory it "Just Works".
