I wouldn't say it was trivial, but at the same time its not rocket science 
either. Most event loops work in a pretty similar fashion, so if you have
enough of an understanding to have written one custom to your application,
then integrating DBus should be fairly straightforward. The Perl bindings
currently have their own pure-Perl mainloop implementation based around the
select() call which was not too difficult to get working. If its of any
use, the code can be found in the Net::DBus::Reactor module
