If you need nonblocking access to an external program, or want to execute some
|
||
|
|
blocking code in a separate process, but you don't want to write a wrapper
|
||
|
|
module or some POE::Wheel::Run boilerplate code, then POE::Quickie can help.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You just specify what you're interested in (stdout, stderr, and/or exit code),
|
||
|
|
and POE::Quickie will handle the rest in a sensible way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It has some convenience features, such as killing processes after a timeout,
|
||
|
|
and storing process-specific context information which will be delivered with
|
||
|
|
every event.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is also an even lazier API which suspends the execution of your event
|
||
|
|
handler and gives control back to POE while your task is running, the same
|
||
|
|
way LWP::UserAgent::POE does.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is provided by the quickie_* functions which are exported by default.
