Event::ExecFlow::Job - Abstract base class for all job classes

  Event::ExecFlow::Job->new (
    title                => Descriptive title,
    name                 => Internal short name,
    depends_on           => Names of jobs, this job depends on,
    progress_max         => Maximum expected progress value,
    progress_ips         => String to show as "items per second",
    no_progress          => Job has no progress state at all,
    pre_callbacks        => Callbacks executed before job starts,
    post_callbacks       => Callbacks executed after job finished,
    error_callbacks      => Callbacks executed if job had errors,
    warning_callbacks    => Callbacks executed if job had warnings,
    stash                => A custom data hash stored with the job,
  );

This is an abstract base class and usually not used directly from the application. For daily programming the attributes defined in this class are most important, since they are common to all Jobs of the Event::ExecFlow framework.

  Event::ExecFlow

  Event::ExecFlow::Job
  +--- Event::ExecFlow::Job::Group
  +--- Event::ExecFlow::Job::Command
  +--- Event::ExecFlow::Job::Code

  Event::ExecFlow::Frontend
  Event::ExecFlow::Callbacks
  Event::ExecFlow::Scheduler
  +--- Event::ExecFlow::Scheduler::SimpleMax

Attributes may be set with the new() constructor passed as a hash and accessed at runtime using the common get_ATTR(), set_ATTR() style accessors.
