Distributed::Process::Interface - a base class for handling a network connection and the commands received from it.
Reads lines on the connection in_handle() until the line matches REGEX. Returns the list of all the read lines, including the one that matched.
This method is invoked by wait_for_pattern() before reading a line on in_handle(),
to decide whether to stop waiting for a given pattern.
If available_for_reading() returns true,
wait_for_pattern() will go on waiting for lines to flow in; if it yields false,
wait_for_pattern() will return undef.
By default,
available_for_reading() always returns 1,
which means that wait_for_pattern() indefinitely reads lines from in_handle() until one of them matches the given pattern.
Subclasses can overload available_for_reading() to return 0 should something different occur.
Prints each string in LIST with a CR+LF sequence to the output stream.
The following list describes the attributes of this class. They must only be accessed through their accessors. When called with an argument, the accessor methods set their attribute's value to that argument and return its former value. When called without arguments, they return the current value.
The P::D::Server under which the Interface is running.
A unique identifier for the interface.
The IO::Handle object that represents the input stream.
The IO::Handle object that represents the output stream.
