AnyEvent::Mac::Pasteboard - observation and hook pasteboard changing.

SYNOPSIS

use AnyEvent;
use AnyEvent::Mac::Pasteboard;

my $cv = AnyEvent->condvar;

my $pb_watcher = AnyEvent::Mac::Pasteboard->new(
  interval => [1, 1, 2, 3, 5], # see following key specify description.
  on_change => sub {
    my $pb_content = shift;
    print "change pasteboard content: $pb_content\n";
  },
  on_unchange => sub {
    # ...some code...
  },
  on_error => sub {
     my $error = shift;
     print "Error occured.";

DESCRIPTION

This module is observation and hook Mac OS X pasteboard changing.

METHODS

AnyEvent::Mac::Pasteboard->new( ... )

my $pb_watcher = AnyEvent::Mac::Pasteboard->new( ... );

This object runs at recv'ing AnyEvent->condver.

new gives key value pairs as argument.

• interval => POSITIVE_DIGIT or ARRAYREF having POSITIVE_DIGITS

  Specify pasteboard observation interval.

    interval => 2, # per 2 seconds.
  

  or

    # 1st 0.5 second, 2nd 0.5 too, 3rd, 1 second, ...
    # and last per 5 seconds interval.
    interval => [0.5, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
  

  This key is optional. Default interval is defined by $AnyEvent::Mac::Pasteboard::DEFAULT_INTERVAL.

    perl -MAnyEvent::Mac::Pasteboard -E 'say $AnyEvent::Mac::Pasteboard::DEFAULT_INTERVAL;'
  

• on_change => CALLBACK

    on_change => sub {
       my $pb_content = shift;
       print qq(Run on_change. pasteboard content is "$pb_content"\n);
    },
  

  While this module observates per specified interval, if it detects pasteboard changing at per observation, then call this "on_change" callback.

  This callback gives changed new pasteboard content at 1st argument.

• on_unchagnge => CALLBACK

    on_unchange => sub {
       my $pb_content = shift;
       print "Run on_unchange.\n" if DEBUG;
    },
  

  The converse of "on_change" callback.

  This callback may be using at DEBUG.

• on_error => CALLBACK

  This callback "on_error" is called at error occuring.

  However this callback is BETA STATUS, so it may be obsoluted at future release.

• multibyte => BOOL

  It seems Mac::Pasteboard#pbpaste() (given pasteboard content subroutine) is broken multibyte UTF-8 characters.

  Because this AnyEvent::Mac::Pasteboard is used low cost Mac::Pasteboard#pbpate() as observation, high cost external command call `pbpaste` as picking up content.

  If you use only single byte UTF-8 characters (ASCII only), then it is no problem this flag is false. However if you use multibyte UTF-8 character, then let this flag true for safety.

  Default is false.
