        # Example of using AnyEvent as an alternative to IO::Async

        use AnyEvent;

        # Create a timer
        my $timer = AnyEvent->timer(
            after => 5, 
            interval => 1, 
            cb => sub { print "Hello, world!\n"; }
        );

        # Create an event to run for 10 seconds
        my $w = AnyEvent->condvar;
        $w->wait; # This will block until all events are handled
