AnyEvent::Connection - Base class for tcp connectful clients

package MyTCPClient;
use base 'AnyEvent::Connection';
package main;
my $client = MyTCPClient->new(
host => 'localhost',
port => 12345,
);
$client->reg_cb(
connected => sub {
my ($client,$connection,$host,$port) = @_;
# ...
$client->after(
$interval, sub {
# Called after interval, if connection still alive
}
);
}
connfail = sub {
my ($client,$reason) = @_;
# ...
},
disconnect => sub {
my ($client,$reason) = @_;
},
error => sub {
my ($client,$error) = @_;
# Called in error conditions for callbackless methods
},
);
$client->connect;

Called when client get connected.
Called, when client fails to connect
Called whenever client disconnects
Called in error conditions for callbackless methods (for ex: when calling push_write on non-connected client)

Host to connect to
Port to connect to
Connect/read/write timeout in seconds
If true, automatically reconnect after disconnect/connfail after delay $reconnect seconds
Class that implements low-level connection

Cleates connection object (see OPTIONS)
Begin connection
Close current connection. reason is optional
Close current connection and establish a new one
Helper method. AE::timer(after), associated with current connection
Will be destroyed if connection is destroyed, so no timer invocation after connection destruction.
Helper method. AE::timer(periodic), associated with current connection
Will be destroyed if connection is destroyed, so no timer invocation after connection destruction.
If called within periodic callback, periodic will be stopped.
my $count;
$client->periodic(1,sub {
$client->periodic_stop if ++$count > 10;
});
# callback will be called only 10 times;
Close connection, destroy all associated objects and timers, clean self

When connected, there are some methods, that proxied to raw connection or to AE::Handle
See AE::Handle::push_write
See AE::Handle::push_read
See AE::Handle::unshift_read
Same as push_write + newline
Same as push_write + newline
For next methods there is a feature. Callback will be called in any way, either by successful processing or by error or object destruction
Similar to
$fh->push_read(chunk => $bytes, $cb->());
Similar to
$fh->push_write($data);
$fh->push_read(line => $cb->());
