AnyEvent provides an identical interface to multiple event loops.
|
||
|
|
This allows module authors to utilise an event loop without forcing
|
||
|
|
module users to use the same event loop (as only a single event loop
|
||
|
|
can coexist peacefully at any one time).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The interface itself is vaguely similar but not identical to the Event
|
||
|
|
module.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On the first call of any method, the module tries to detect the
|
||
|
|
currently loaded event loop by probing wether any of the following
|
||
|
|
modules is loaded: Coro::Event, Event, Glib, Tk. The first one found
|
||
|
|
is used. If none is found, the module tries to load these modules in
|
||
|
|
the order given. The first one that could be successfully loaded will
|
||
|
|
be used. If still none could be found, AnyEvent will fall back to a
|
||
|
|
pure-perl event loop, which is also not very efficient.
