NAME

IPC::MorseSignals - Communicate between processes with Morse signals.

VERSION

Version 0.15

SYNOPSIS

    # In the sender process
    use IPC::MorseSignals::Emitter;

    my $deuce = new IPC::MorseSignals::Emitter speed => 1024;
    $deuce->post('HLAGH') for 1 .. 3;
    $deuce->send($pid);

    ...

    # In the receiver process
    use IPC::MorseSignals::Receiver;

    local %SIG;
    my $pants = new IPC::MorseSignals::Receiver \%SIG, done => sub {
     print STDERR "GOT $_[1]\n";
    };

DESCRIPTION

This module implements a rare form of IPC by sending Morse-like signals through SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2. Both of those signals are used, so you won't be able to keep them for something else when you use this module.

IPC::MorseSignals::Emitter is a base class for emitters ;

IPC::MorseSignals::Receiver is a base class for receivers.

But, seriously, use something else for your IPC. :)

DEPENDENCIES

You need the complete Bit::MorseSignals distribution.

Carp (standard since perl 5), POSIX (idem) and Time::HiRes (since perl 5.7.3) are also required.

SEE ALSO

IPC::MorseSignals::Emitter, IPC::MorseSignals::Receiver.

Bit::MorseSignals, Bit::MorseSignals::Emitter, Bit::MorseSignals::Receiver.

perlipc for information about signals in perl.

For truly useful IPC, search for shared memory, pipes and semaphores.
