SYNOPSIS |
| 7 |
|
|
use AnyEvent; |
| 8 |
|
|
|
| 9 |
|
|
my $w = AnyEvent->timer (fh => ..., poll => "[rw]+", cb => sub { |
| 10 |
|
|
my ($poll_got) = @_; |
| 11 |
|
|
... |
| 12 |
|
|
}); |
| 13 |
|
|
my $w = AnyEvent->io (after => $seconds, cb => sub { |
| 14 |
|
|
... |
| 15 |
|
|
}); |
| 16 |
|
|
|
| 17 |
|
|
# watchers get canceled whenever $w is destroyed |
| 18 |
|
|
# only one watcher per $fh and $poll type is allowed |
| 19 |
|
|
# (i.e. on a socket you cna have one r + one w or one rw |
| 20 |
|
|
# watcher, not any more. |
| 21 |
|
|
# timers can only be used once |
| 22 |
|
|
|
| 23 |
|
|
my $w = AnyEvent->condvar; # kind of main loop replacement |
| 24 |
|
|
# can only be used once |
| 25 |
|
|
$w->wait; # enters main loop till $condvar gets ->send |
| 26 |
|
|
$w->broadcast; # wake up waiting and future wait's |

DESCRIPTION |
| 29 |
|
|
AnyEvent provides an identical interface to multiple event loops. This |
| 30 |
|
|
allows module authors to utilizy an event loop without forcing module |
| 31 |
|
|
users to use the same event loop (as only a single event loop can |
| 32 |
|
|
coexist peacefully at any one time). |
| 33 |
|
|
|
| 34 |
|
|
The interface itself is vaguely similar but not identical to the Event |
| 35 |
|
|
module. |
| 36 |
|
|
|
| 37 |
|
|
On the first call of any method, the module tries to detect the |
| 38 |
|
|
currently loaded event loop by probing wether any of the following |
| 39 |
|
|
modules is loaded: Coro::Event, Event, Glib, Tk. The first one found is |
| 40 |
|
|
used. If none is found, the module tries to load these modules in the |
| 41 |
|
|
order given. The first one that could be successfully loaded will be |
| 42 |
|
|
used. If still none could be found, it will issue an error. |
| 43 |
|

EXAMPLE |
| 45 |
|
|
The following program uses an io watcher to read data from stdin, a |
| 46 |
|
|
timer to display a message once per second, and a condvar to exit the |
| 47 |
|
|
program when the user enters quit: |
| 48 |
|
|
|
| 49 |
|
|
use AnyEvent; |
| 50 |
|
|
|
| 51 |
|
|
my $cv = AnyEvent->condvar; |
| 52 |
|
|
|
| 53 |
|
|
my $io_watcher = AnyEvent->io (fh => \*STDIN, poll => 'r', cb => sub { |
| 54 |
|
|
warn "io event <$_[0]>\n"; # will always output <r> |
| 55 |
|
|
chomp (my $input = <STDIN>); # read a line |
| 56 |
|
|
warn "read: $input\n"; # output what has been read |
| 57 |
|
|
$cv->broadcast if $input =~ /^q/i; # quit program if /^q/i |
| 58 |
|
|
}); |
| 59 |
|
|
|
| 60 |
|
|
my $time_watcher; # can only be used once |
| 61 |
|
|
|
| 62 |
|
|
sub new_timer { |
| 63 |
|
|
$timer = AnyEvent->timer (after => 1, cb => sub { |
| 64 |
|
|
warn "timeout\n"; # print 'timeout' about every second |
| 65 |
|
|
&new_timer; # and restart the time |
| 66 |
|
|
}); |
| 67 |
|
|
} |
| 68 |
|
|
|
| 69 |
|
|
new_timer; # create first timer |
| 70 |
|
|
|
| 71 |
|
|
$cv->wait; # wait until user enters /^q/i |
