NAME

POE::Component::TSTP - A POE Component to handle Ctrl-Z

SYNOPSIS

  use POE;
  use POE::Component::TSTP;
  POE::Component::TSTP->create();
  # Rest of your POE program here

DESCRIPTION

By default, POE applications do not respond to Ctrl-Z due to slightly strange signal handling semantics. This module fixes that.

You can pass in two options to the create() routine:

  • Alias

    An Alias for the component. By default it is called "tstp_handler".

  • PreSuspend

    A subref that will be called just before suspending your program.

  • PostSuspend

    A subref that will be called just after your program has returned from suspension (usually via the fg command).
