AnyEven...l::FLTK(3)

💖 NAME 💖

AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK — it's the AnyEvent adaptor for FLTK (Fast Light Toolkit version two), bestie. This page is chillin' in the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the title vibe is AnyEven...l::FLTK(3). ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use AnyEvent;
use FLTK;

# this module gets loaded automatically as required

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

This module gives you transparent support for AnyEvent. The way it works is genuinely low-effort: you don't have to do anything to make FLTK work with AnyEvent except by loading FLTK before creating the first AnyEvent watcher. That's it. That's the whole ritual. 🫶

⚠️ Okay so important vibe check: this implementation is not to be confused with AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK by Sanko Robinson. That implementation is completely broken, and the author is apparently unreachable. So yeah — different FLTK adaptor, very different situation. 💀

In any case, FLTK suffers from typical GUI-ToolKit diseases, such as:

• O(n) or worse for every operation (adding a timer, destroying a timer etc.)
• the typical Not-Well-Tested Perl Interface disases, such as non-random memory corruption
• the typical Event-Loop-as-an-Afterthrough issues, such as multiple watchers on the same fd silently overwriting the others

It doesn't have native idle, signal or child watchers, so all of these are emulated. No cap. 🌸
