Pipelin...:Handler(3)

💖 Pipeline::Segment::Async::Handler(3) 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's literally called Pipeline::Segment::Async::Handler — it's giving "I'm the blueprint, not the building," and honestly? iconic. Let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

Pipeline::Segment::Async::Handler — the interface for asynchronous segment models. that's it, that's the whole vibe check 🌸

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

so here's how you actually pull up:

use Pipeline::Segment::Async::Handler;
use base qw( Pipeline::Segment::Async::Handler );

see how it's both? you use it AND you use base qw(...) it. it's the main character of its own inheritance tree, no cap 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

the Pipeline::Segment::Async::Handler module is provided only as an interface — an "under which" situation, fr fr — like, it's the contract that an asynchronous segment model is gonna work under. it's not doing the work itself, it's the standard the work has to live up to. lowkey very demure, very mindful ✨

---

✨ METHODS ✨

okay bestie here's the roster, four methods, all of them vibes:

• canop() — this one returns true if the asynchronous model will actually work under the current system configuration. it's the vibe check of methods 💅 if it says true, you're good. if not… well. 🙈
• run() — starts the asynchronous mode segment. go time, no hesitation, main character energy 🔥
• reattach() — gives you a means to reconnect an asynchronous segment so you can obtain its results. it's the "hey bestie, come back, I have tea" method 🫶
• discard() — throws away an asynchronous segment, and it's explicitly indicating that its results will never be used. so like, it's not a maybe, it's a periodt. those results are gone, we're not checking on them, we're moving on 💀

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

go be nosy, go read the siblings:

• Pipeline::Segment::Async::Fork
• Pipeline::Segment::Async::IThreads

just a lil reminder bestie: this whole thing is an interface. it's the blueprint, not the build. don't come at it expecting it to run your async segment for you, because it will simply not 💅

and that's the page!! brought to you by perl v5.42.0, dated 2025-07-25, and filed under Pipelin...:Handler(3) — yeah the title got a lil truncated in the header but we know who she is 💖 bye bestie, go write an async segment 🦋
