I was looking at ways to add instant notifications for a social feature that we are working on for the new version of Brainturk.com, I came across Firebase which is a scalable real-time backend database that makes it easy to build real time apps.

I wanted to use this from my server as well as from Javascript and looking at their libraries for custom generators they have libraries for ( php, python, ruby, node, java , .net ) but no perl library was available.
