POE::Component::Schedule - Schedule POE events using DateTime::Set iterators
use POE qw(Component::Schedule);

$s1 = POE::Session->create(
inline_states => {
_start => sub {
$_[HEAP]{sched} = POE::Component::Schedule->add(
$_[SESSION], Tick => DateTime::Set->from_recurrence(
after => DateTime->now,
before => DateTime->now->add(seconds => 3)
recurrence => sub {
return $_[0]->truncate( to => 'second' )->add( seconds => 1 )

# Three ways to remove a schedule
# The first one is only for API compatibility with POE::Component::Cron

This component encapsulates a session that sends events to client sessions on a schedule as defined by a DateTime::Set iterator.
No need to call this in normal use, add() and new() all crank one of these up if it is needed. Start up a PoCo::Schedule. Returns a handle that can then be added to.
my $sched = POE::Component::Schedule->add(
$session_object,
$event_name,
$DateTime_Set_iterator,
@event_args
);
Add a set of events to the schedule. The $session_object and $event_name are passed to POE without even checking to see if they are valid and so have the same warnings as ->post() itself. $session_object must be a real POE::Session, not a session ID. Else session reference count will not be increased and the session may end before receiving all events.
Returns a schedule handle. The event is removed from when the handle is not referenced anymore.
new is an alias for add
Removes a schedule using the handle returned from ->add or ->new.
DEPRECATED: Schedules are now automatically deleted when they are not referenced anymore. So just setting the container variable to undef will delete the schedule.

This module is a friendly fork of POE::Component::Cron to extract the generic parts and isolate the Cron specific code in order to reduce dependencies on other CPAN modules.
The orignal author of POE::Component::Cron is Chris Fedde.
