Tibco::Rv::Event - Base class for Tibco events

   use base qw/ Tibco::Rv::Event /;

   sub new
   {
      # ...
      my ( $self ) =
         $proto->SUPER::new( queue => $queue, callback => $callback );
      # ...
   }

Base class for Tibco Events -- Listeners, Timers, and IO events. Don't use this directly.

$self = $proto->SUPER::new( %args )

   %args:
      queue => $queue,
      callback => sub { ... }

Creates a Tibco::Rv::Event, or more specifically, one of the Event subclasses -- Listener, Timer, or IO, with queue $queue (defaults to $Tibco::Rv::Queue::DEFAULT if not specified), and the given callback (defaults to sub { } if not specified).

$queue = $event->queue

Returns the queue on which events will be dispatched.

$callback = $event->callback

Returns the callback code reference.

$event->onEvent

$event->onEvent( $msg )

Trigger an event directly. Subclasses determine which version will be called. Listener objects use the version with a $msg parameter, Timer and IO objects use the version with no paramters.

$event->DESTROY

Cancels interest in this event. Called automatically when $event goes out of scope. Calling DESTROY more than once has no effect.

Tibco::Rv::Timer
