NAME

AnyEvent::Timer::Cron - cron based timers for AnyEvent

SYNOPSIS

    use AnyEvent;
    use AnyEvent::Timer::Cron;

    my $w; $w = AnyEvent::Timer::Cron->new(cron => '0 1 * * *', cb => sub {
        undef $w;
        ...
    });
    AnyEvent->condvar->recv;

DESCRIPTION

This module creates timers based on cron rules.

This module primarily exists to replace similar that try to do too much work, instead providing the simplest implementation, and using AnyEvent's standard conventions for timer lifetime.

METHODS

new( cron => $cron, cb => sub {} )

Creates a new cron timer. The callback will be called continually according to the cron rules until the object is destroyed.

cron

Required. A cron rule, either in string form or as a DateTime::Event::Cron, DateTime::Event::Cron::Quartz, or DateTime::Set object.

cb

Required. The callback to call for the cron events.

time_zone

A cron rule will be calculated under the specified time zone. If not specified, events will be calculated using UTC.
