NAME

POE::Wheel - extend POE::Session by adding new states

SYNOPSIS

  $wheel = new POE::Wheel::Derivative
    ( $kernel,
      'name1' => $value1, # These parameters depend on the type of wheel
      'name2' => $value2, # being created.  See each wheel's documentation
      'nameN' => $valueN, # for more information.
    );

DESCRIPTION

When created, POE::Wheel derivatives splice their own states into the parent POE::Session state machine. When destroyed, they remove their states from the machine.

PUBLIC METHODS

new POE::Wheel::Derivative

$wheel = new POE::Wheel::Derivative($kernel, 'name' = 'value', ...)>

The name/value pairs are specific to each class derived from POE::Wheel.

Others

POE::Wheel derivatives may have their own public methods.

POE::Wheel derivatives send information to their parent POE::Sessions by posting events.
