NAME

POE::Declare::Meta::Event - Declares a named POE event

SYNOPSIS

  use POE::Declare;
  
  sub shutdown : Event {
      my $self = $_[SELF];
  
      # Shutdown our child first
      $self->child->post('shutdown');
  
      # Wait for the child to tell us it is finished
      return 1;
  }

DESCRIPTION

Taking advantage of the subroutine attribute feature of recent versions of Perl, the Event attribute is used to register a function/method as an named event that can be targetted by POE.

In an Event, the non-default array constant SELF is used to retrieve the current object (Since each objects are stored in the session heap, SELF is actually just an alias for HEAP, but adds some clarity).
