🦋 Promise::ES6::AnyEvent(3) 🦋

okay so first thing's first: this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section (that's the manual name, bestie, iykyk) 💅

✨ NAME ✨

Promise::ES6::AnyEvent — literally Promises/A+-compliant promises 🎀 (spec's over at <https://github.com/promises-aplus/promises-spec>, go read it, it's giving source of truth)

🚨 DEPRECATION NOTICE 🚨

ngl this is the sad part 😭 — this module is deprecated and will go away eventually. Like, fr fr, it's on its way out.

So instead, use use_event() instead, exactly as described in Promise::ES6's documentation. slay, moving on 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe: this is a subclass of Promise::ES6, and what it does is incorporate AnyEvent in order to implement full Promises/A+ compliance. iconic behaviour, honestly 👑

Specifically? This class defers execution of resolve and reject callbacks to the end of the current event loop iteration. The way it just… waits. main character energy ⭐

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

  • This distribution also includes Promise::ES6::IOAsync for those who prefer IO::Async — pick your fave, no judgement 💜
  • CPAN's Promises, AnyEvent::Promises, and AnyEvent::XSPromises all provide functionality similar to this class's ✨ (so like, you got options, bestie)
lowkey reminder: deprecated module, use use_event() instead — don't come for me, that's just what the page says 💀

okay that's the whole thing, mwah 🍓 — brought to you by perl v5.42.2, dated 2026-02-15, and yes the manual name is still User Contributed Perl Documentation, periodt 🎀💖
