use Glib::Event; |

|
| 9 |
# example with Gtk2: |
| 10 |
use Gtk2; |
| 11 |
use Glib::Event; |
| 12 |
use Event; # any order |
| 13 |
Event->timer (after => 1, interval => 1, cb => sub { print "I am here!\n" }); |
| 14 |
main Gtk2; |
| 15 |
# etc., it just works |

=head1 DESCRIPTION |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
This module coerces the Glib event loop to use the Event module as |
| 20 |
underlying event loop, i.e. Event will be used by Glib for all events. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
This makes Glib compatible to Event. Calls into the Glib main loop |
| 23 |
are more or less equivalent to calls to C<Event::loop>. |

=item * The Glib perl module is not used. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
This module has no dependency on the existing Glib perl interface, as it |
| 30 |
uses glib directly. The Glib module can, however, be used without any |
| 31 |
problems. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
=item * The default context will be changed when the module is loaded. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Loading this module will automatically "patch" the default context of |
| 36 |
libglib, so normally nothing more is required. |

=head1 BUGS |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
* No documented API to patch other main contexts. |
| 63 |
* Uses one_event, which is inefficient. |
