Coro::Timer#
timers and timeouts, independent of any event loop
SYNOPSIS#
## This package is mostly obsoleted by Coro::AnyEvent.
use Coro::Timer qw(timeout);
## nothing exported by default
DESCRIPTION#
This package has been mostly obsoleted by Coro::AnyEvent, the only really useful function left in here is timeout.
$flag = timeout $seconds
This function will wake up the current coroutine after $seconds seconds and sets $flag to true (it is false initially). If $flag goes out of scope earlier then nothing happens.
This is used by Coro itself to implement the
timed_down,timed_waitetc. primitives. It is used like this:sub timed_wait { my $timeout = Coro::Timer::timeout 60; while (condition false) { Coro::schedule; # wait until woken up or timeout return 0 if $timeout; # timed out } return 1; # condition satisfied }
