NAME

"Future::IO::ImplBase" − base class for "Future::IO" implementations

DESCRIPTION

This package provides a few utility methods that may help writing actual Future::IO implementation classes. It is entirely optional; implementations are not required to use it.

CLASS METHODS

APPLY

__PACKAGE__−>APPLY;

Attempts to set the value of the $Future::IO::IMPL variable to the name of the calling package.

DEFAULT METHODS

These methods are provided based on lower−level functionallity that the implementing class should provide.

accept

Implemented by wrapping "ready_for_read", as "sysread" uses.

alarm

Implemented by wrapping "sleep".

connect

Implemented by wrapping "ready_for_write", as "syswrite" uses.

recv

recvfrom

Implemented by wrapping "ready_for_read", as "sysread" uses.

send

Implemented by wrapping "ready_for_write", as "syswrite" uses.

sysread

Requires a lower−level method

$f = $class−>ready_for_read( $fh );

which should return a Future that completes when the given filehandle may be ready for reading.

syswrite

Requires a lower−level method

$f = $class−>ready_for_write( $fh );

which should return a Future that completes when the given filehandle may be ready for writing.
