POE::Kernel Description
POE::Kernel is an event driven threaded application kernel in Perl. POE::Kernel is an event driven threaded application kernel in Perl.SYNOPSISPOE comes with its own event loop, which is based on select() and written entirely in Perl. To use it, simply: use POE;POE can adapt itself to work with other event loops and I/O multiplex systems. Currently it adapts to Gtk, Tk, Event.pm, or IO::Poll when one of those modules is used before POE::Kernel. use Gtk; # Or Tk, Event, or IO::Poll; use POE; or use POE qw(Loop::Gtk); or use POE::Kernel { loop => "Gtk" }; use POE::Session;Methods to manage the process' global Kernel instance: # Retrieve the kernel's unique identifier. $kernel_id = $kernel->ID; # Run the event loop, only returning when it has no more sessions to # dispatch events to. Supports two forms. $poe_kernel->run(); POE::Kernel->run();FIFO event methods: # Post an event to an arbitrary session. $kernel->post( $session, $event, @event_args ); # Post an event back to the current session. $kernel->yield( $event, @event_args ); # Call an event handler synchronously. Bypasses POE's event queue # and returns the handler's return value. $handler_result = $kernel->call( $session, $event, @event_args );Original alarm and delay methods: # Post an event which will be delivered at a given Unix epoch time. # This clears previous timed events with the same state name. $kernel->alarm( $event, $epoch_time, @event_args ); # Post an additional alarm, leaving existing ones in the queue. $kernel->alarm_add( $event, $epoch_time, @event_args ); # Post an event which will be delivered after a delay, specified in # seconds hence. This clears previous timed events with the same # name. $kernel->delay( $event, $seconds, @event_args ); # Post an additional delay, leaving existing ones in the queue. $kernel->delay_add( $event, $seconds, @event_args ); Requirements: · Perl
