Daemon:...::Event(3)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so this page is Daemon:...::Event(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's all about Daemon::Generic::Event — a generic daemon framework with Event.pm. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bestie, the setup looks like this:

use Daemon::Generic::Event;

@ISA = qw(Daemon::Generic::Event);

sub gd_preconfig {
       # stuff
}

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Daemon::Generic::Event is a subclass of Daemon::Generic that predefines some methods, and honestly? iconic:

• gd_run() — sets up a periodic callback to gd_run_body() if there is a gd_run_body(). Then it calls Event::loop().
• gd_setup_signals() — binds SIGHUP to call gd_reconfig_event(). Binds SIGINT to call gd_quit_event().

To use Daemon::Generic::Event, you have to provide a gd_preconfig() method. It can be empty if you have a gd_run_body().

Set up your own events in gd_preconfig() and gd_postconfig().

If you have a gd_run_body() method, it will be called once per second — or every gd_interval() seconds if you have a gd_interval() method. Unlike in Daemon::Generic::While1, gd_run_body() should not include a call to sleep(). no cap, leave the sleeping to the framework 💅
