The \fI\s-1BIG WIN\s0\fR from using Coro is that it enables the use of existing
\&\s-1DBI\s0 frameworks like DBIx::Class.

.Vb 2
\&  \- Uses Coro::Select so alters CORE::select globally
\&    Parent class probably needs refactoring to enable a more encapsulated approach.
\&
\&  \- Doesn\*(Aqt prevent multiple concurrent requests
\&    Probably just needs a per\-connection semaphore
\&
\&  \- Coro has many caveats. Caveat emptor.

You can see that the timer callback is firing while the code 'waits' inside the
\&\fIdo()\fR method for the response from the database. Normally that would block.
