3 Coro::Timer - timers and timeouts, independent of any event loop

7 use Coro::Timer qw(sleep timeout);
8 # nothing exported by default

11
12 =head1 DESCRIPTION
13
14 This package implements a simple timer callback system which works
15 independent of the event loop mechanism used.

36 =item $flag = timeout $seconds;
37
38 This function will wake up the current coroutine after $seconds
39 seconds and sets $flag to true (it is false initially). If $flag goes
40 out of scope earlier nothing happens. This is used to implement the
41 C<timed_down>, C<timed_wait> etc. primitives. It is used like this:
42
43 sub timed_wait {
44 my $timeout = Coro::Timer::timeout 60;
45
46 while (condition false) {
47 Coro::schedule; # wait until woken up or timeout
48 return 0 if $timeout; # timed out
49 }
50
51 return 1; # condition satisfied
52 }

56 sub timeout($) {
57 my $current = $Coro::current;
58 my $timeout;
59 bless {
60 timer => (AE::timer $_[0], 0, sub {
61 $timeout = 1;
62 $current->ready;
63 }),
64 timeout => \$timeout,
65 }, "Coro::Timer::Timeout";
66 }

71
72 use overload 'bool' => \&bool, '0+' => \&bool;
73
74 package Coro::Timer;
75
76 =item sleep $seconds
77
78 This function works like the built-in sleep, except maybe more precise
79 and, most important, without blocking other coroutines.
