 reference that subscribes to the event. This code is
expected to return a L instance.

=cut

sub subscribe
{
   my $self = shift;
   my ( $code ) = @_;

   push @{ $self->{subscribers} }, $code;
}

=head2 subscribers

   @codes = $event->subscribers

Returns a list of C references previously subscribed.

=cut

sub subscribers
{
   my $self = shift;
   return @{ $self->{subscribers} };
}

=head1 EXPECTED METHODS

Subclasses are expected to implement the following methods:

=cut

=head2 fire

   $f = $event->fire( @args )

Invoked by L to actually run the signal. This is expected
to invoke any or all subscribers in whatever manner it implements, passing
arguments as required, and collecting results in some way to provide as the
eventual answer of the L it returns.
