NAME

MooseX::POE - The Illicit Love Child of Moose and POE

VERSION

This document describes MooseX::POE version 0.205

SYNOPSIS

package Counter;
use MooseX::POE;

has count => (
    isa     => 'Int',
    is      => 'rw',
    lazy    => 1,
    default => sub { 0 },
);

sub START {
    my ($self) = @_;
    $self->yield('increment');
}

event increment => sub {
    my ($self) = @_;
    print "Count is now " . $self->count . "\n";
    $self->count( $self->count + 1 );
    $self->yield('increment') unless $self->count > 3;
};

no MooseX::POE;

Counter->new();
POE::Kernel->run();

or with LMooseX::Declare|MooseX::Declare:

class Counter {
    use MooseX::POE::SweetArgs qw(event);
    

    has count => (
        isa     => 'Int',
        is      => 'rw',
        lazy    => 1,
        default => sub { 0 },
    );
    

    sub START { 
        my ($self) = @_;
        $self->yield('increment')  
    }
    

    event increment => sub {
        my ($self) = @_;
        print "Count is now " . $self->count . "\n";
        $self->count( $self->count + 1 );
        $self->yield('increment') unless $self->count > 3;            
    }
}

Counter->new();
POE::Kernel->run();

DESCRIPTION

MooseX::POE is a Moose wrapper around a POE::Session.

KEYWORDS

event $name $subref

Create an event handler named $name.

METHODS

Default POE-related methods are provided by LMooseX::POE::Meta::Trait::Object|MooseX::POE::Meta::Trait::Object which is applied to your base class (which is usually LMoose::Object|Moose::Object) when you use this module. See that module for the documentation for. Below is a list of methods on that class so you know what to look for:

get_session_id
yield
call
STARTALL
STOPALL

NOTES ON USAGE WITH LMooseX::Declare|MooseX::Declare

LMooseX::Declare|MooseX::Declare support is still "experimental". Meaning that I don't use it, I don't have any code that uses it, and thus I can't adequately say that it won't cause monkeys to fly out of any orifices on your body beyond what the tests and the SYNOPSIS cover.

That said there are a few caveats that have turned up during testing.

The method keyword doesn't seem to work as expected. This is an integration issue that is being resolved but I want to wait for LMooseX::Declare|MooseX::Declare to gain some more polish on their slurpy arguments.
MooseX::POE attempts to re-export L<Moose|Moose>, which LMooseX::Declare|MooseX::Declare has already exported in a custom fashion. This means that you'll get a keyword clash between the features that LMooseX::Declare|MooseX::Declare handles for you and the features that Moose handles. To work around this you'll need to write:

use MooseX::POE qw(event);

or

use MooseX::POE::SweetArgs qw(event);

or

use MooseX::POE::Role qw(event);

to keep MooseX::POE from exporting the sugar that LMooseX::Declare|MooseX::Declare doesn't like. This is fixed in the Git version of LMooseX::Declare|MooseX::Declare but that version (as of this writing) is not on the CPAN.

DEPENDENCIES
