=head1 SYNOPSIS |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
use AnyEvent; |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
my $w = AnyEvent->timer (fh => ..., poll => "[rw]+", cb => sub { |
| 12 |
my ($poll_got) = @_; |
| 13 |
... |
| 14 |
}); |
| 15 |
my $w = AnyEvent->io (after => $seconds, cb => sub { |
| 16 |
... |
| 17 |
}); |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
# watchers get canceled whenever $w is destroyed |
| 20 |
# only one watcher per $fh and $poll type is allowed |
| 21 |
# (i.e. on a socket you cna have one r + one w or one rw |
| 22 |
# watcher, not any more. |
| 23 |
# timers can only be used once |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
my $w = AnyEvent->condvar; # kind of main loop replacement |
| 26 |
# can only be used once |
| 27 |
$w->wait; # enters main loop till $condvar gets ->send |
| 28 |
$w->broadcast; # wake up waiting and future wait's |

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

=head1 EXAMPLE |
| 110 |
|
| 111 |
The following program uses an io watcher to read data from stdin, a timer |
| 112 |
to display a message once per second, and a condvar to exit the program |
| 113 |
when 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 |
| 132 |
}); |
| 133 |
} |
| 134 |
|
| 135 |
new_timer; # create first timer |
| 136 |
|
| 137 |
$cv->wait; # wait until user enters /^q/i |
