I love Node, but I don't think this is particularly true. I have had no problem writing Event-driven Perl apps that talk to web users, use ZeroMQ, talk to a SQL database, talk to Redis, read from disk, and spawn external processses... with none of those operations blocking.
Look at the AnyEvent:: namespace on search.cpan... there's a quite a bit of stuff there. Everything that Node has, and more.
You should use Node because you like Javascript, not because other languages don't have as good of libraries... because other languages have as good of libraries.
