NAME

Konstrukt::Event - Event management

SYNOPSIS

        #Register for an event:
        #register an object method:
        $Konstrukt::Event->register("eventname", $object, \&sub_reference);
        #note that duplicate entries will be ignored
        
        #deregister from an event:
        #only deregister this method from the specified event:
        $Konstrukt::Event->deregister("eventname", $object, \&sub_reference);
        #deregister all registered method for a specified object:
        $Konstrukt::Event->deregister_all_by_object("eventname", $object);
        
        #fire an event:
        #the optional arguments will be passed to the registered methods
        $Konstrukt::Event->trigger("eventname"[, arg1[, arg2[, ...]]]);

DESCRIPTION

This module provides event handling within the Konstrukt framework. You may register object methods for events and you may also fire events, on which the registered methods are called. This will help synchonizing some parts/plugins of the framework without glueing them together too tightly.

For a detailed description of the usage of this module see "SYNOPSIS"
