NAME

AnyEvent::Sleep - Sleep for n seconds while events still fire

VERSION

version 0.1.0

SYNOPSIS

use AnyEvent::Sleep;

# Sleep for 3 seconds without blocking events from firing
sleep 3;

# Sleep for an hour
sleep_until time() + 3600;

DESCRIPTION

This module provides event-loop safe sleep loops. Sleeps can be useful to setup timeouts-- try something, sleep, if it hasn't returned cancel it.

If you are using Coro, then sleep is probably better gotten from Coro::AnyEvent.

The helpers in this module are exported by Sub::Exporter.

HELPERS

sub sleep( Num $secs ) is export

Sleep for $secs while allowing AnyEvent events to emit (and Coroutine threads to run)

sub sleep_until( Num $epochtime ) is export

Sleep until $epochtime while allowing events to emit (and Coroutine threads to run)
