NAME

Test::Stream::Plugin::IPC - Plugin to load and configure IPC support.

EXPERIMENTAL CODE WARNING

This is an experimental release! Test-Stream, and all its components are still in an experimental phase. This dist has been released to cpan in order to allow testers and early adopters the chance to write experimental new tools with it, or to add experimental support for it into old tools.

PLEASE DO NOT COMPLETELY CONVERT OLD TOOLS YET. This experimental release is very likely to see a lot of code churn. API's may break at any time. Test-Stream should NOT be depended on by any toolchain level tools until the experimental phase is over.

DESCRIPTION

The Test::Stream IPC layer provided by Test::Stream::IPC is responsible for sending events between threads and processes. This is necessary for any test files that fork or use threads. This plugin provides an interface to loading and using the IPC layer.

SYNOPSIS

    use Test::Stream qw/IPC/;

You may wish to enable polling, which will pull in results frequently, by default results from other threads and processes all come it at once at the end of testing.

    use Test::Stream IPC => [qw/-poll/];

You can also import the cull() function that can be used to pull results in on demand.

    use Test::Stream IPC => [qw/-cull/];

    cull();

You can also specify a list of drivers to try in order:

    use Test::Stream IPC => [
        'MyIPCDriver',
        '+Fully::Qualified::Driver::Package',
        'Files',
    ];
