NAME

POE::Declare::Meta::Event - Declares a named POE event

SYNOPSIS

use POE::Declare;

sub shutdown : Event {
    my $self = $_[SELF];

    # Shutdown our child first
    $self->child->post('shutdown');

    # Wait for the child to tell us it is finished
    return 1;
}

DESCRIPTION

Taking advantage of the subroutine attribute feature of recent versions of Perl, the Event attribute is used to register a function/method as an event that can be targetted by POE events.

In an Event, the non-core parameter constant SELF is used to retrieve the current object (Since all objects are stored in the session heap, SELF is actually just an alias for HEAP).
