NAME
POE::Loop::AnyEvent - AnyEvent event loop support for POE
VERSION
version 0.004
SYNOPSIS
use POE qw( Loop::AnyEvent );
# The rest of your program goes here.
# There should be little or no changes necessary.
# All POE APIs and most modules should work with no changes.
DESCRIPTION
POE::Loop::AnyEvent replaces POE's default select() event loop with
AnyEvent. This allows POE programs to transparently use most of the
event loops AnyEvent can provide.
POE::Loop::AnyEvent changes POE's internal implementation without
altering its APIs. By design, nearly all software that are already uses
POE should continue to work normally without any changes.
Conflicts
It may seem obvious, but AnyEvent::Impl::POE and POE::Loop::AnyEvent are
mutually exclusive of one another. Using both would result in a deadlock
as each event system called upon the other in infinite recursion.
This deadlock also affects AnyEvent's support of Wx and Prima. AnyEvent
doesn't natively support these event loops. Instead it takes advantage
of POE's more flexible, comprehensive, and open event loop abstractions.
Callbacks from AnyEvent to POE
POE::Session's callback() and postback() methods simplify callbacks from
plain-coderef systems like Tk and AnyEvent to POE's named event
handlers. Please see POE::Session for more details.
Private Methods
POE::Loop::AnyEvent implements the private POE::Loop API. Please see
POE::Loop for an explanation of that API, especially if you'd like to
publish support for a new event loop. POE is structured so that new
event loops can be supported without core distribution changes.
Also see POE::Test::Loops for over 35 test files and more than 490 tests
you can use for free when writing new POE::Loop modules.
