23 # timers can only be used once

7=head1 DESCRIPTION 30=head1 DESCRIPTION
31
32L<AnyEvent> provides an identical interface to multiple event loops. This
33allows module authors to utilizy an event loop without forcing module
34users to use the same event loop (as only a single event loop can coexist
35peacefully at any one time).
36
37The interface itself is vaguely similar but not identical to the Event
38module.
39
40On the first call of any method, the module tries to detect the currently
41loaded event loop by probing wether any of the following modules is
42loaded: L<Coro::Event>, L<Event>, L<Glib>, L<Tk>. The first one found is
43used. If none is found, the module tries to load these modules in the
44order given. The first one that could be successfully loaded will be
45used. If still none could be found, it will issue an error.

109=head1 EXAMPLE
110
111The following program uses an io watcher to read data from stdin, a timer
112to display a message once per second, and a condvar to exit the program
113when the user enters quit:
114
115 use AnyEvent;
116
117 my $cv = AnyEvent->condvar;
118
119 my $io_watcher = AnyEvent->io (fh => \*STDIN, poll => 'r', cb => sub {
120 warn "io event <$_[0]>\n"; # will always output <r>
121 chomp (my $input = <STDIN>); # read a line
122 warn "read: $input\n"; # output what has been read
123 $cv->broadcast if $input =~ /^q/i; # quit program if /^q/i
124 });
125
126 my $time_watcher; # can only be used once
127
128 sub new_timer {
129 $timer = AnyEvent->timer (after => 1, cb => sub {
130 warn "timeout\n"; # print 'timeout' about every second
131 &new_timer; # and restart the time
45 } 132 });
46 } 133 }
47 134
48 die "No event module selected for AnyEvent and autodetect failed. Install any of these: Coro, Event, Glib or Tk."; 135 new_timer; # create first timer
49}
50 136
511; 137 $cv->wait; # wait until user enters /^q/i
