After a few research and experimentations, i settled on EventMachine in order not to re-invent the wheel. The UNIX socket support is there, with a line-by-line text support, and adding an XMPP backend should not be too difficult.

Currently i focused on a base protocol, SMTP-like, which is not completely wired, and the link with objects. It is currently possible to navigate in a tree of virtual objects, and constructing it is now quite easy. Argument passing is ordered in a YAML sequence, to ease mapping with methods (one can still use named arguments with a single Hash parameter).

Also, the DNS class has been revamped completely.

• cleanup protocol handling (the Interface class should not know about anything on that level, sort out the SMTP-like codes, and document the protocol, rework commands replies too)
• we need to create a session, linked to the connection and dying with it, to have instances of some objects keep a specific state over time (to be able to chain commands and have objects remembering the previous steps) (only needed for a few choosen classes, like Services::DNS::Zone)
• test more the new DNS class

The session support is done. The DNS class has received many fixes. Several other fixes and improvements were made.

Clients generating too much errors are terminated now. Other connection checks, as well as locking would be made later and in another BR.

No locking yet, and several issues will be assigned to further releases.
