NAME

POEx::ZMQ3 - POE-enabled asynchronous ZeroMQ components

SYNOPSIS

use POEx::ZMQ3;
## A POEx::ZMQ3::Sockets instance:
my $zmq = POEx::ZMQ3->new;

(See POEx::ZMQ3::Sockets for a complete example.)

DESCRIPTION

A set of roles and classes providing a POE-enabled asynchronous interface to ZeroMQ (version 3) via ZMQ::LibZMQ3.

ZeroMQ is a powerful high-performance messaging library aimed at concurrent/distributed applications. (If you're just getting started with ZeroMQ, it is strongly advised you read the 'zguide' (http://zguide.zeromq.org) before jumping in.)

This project attempts to stay on top of changes in ZeroMQ and the relevant Perl bindings. You will need zeromq-3.2.2 or newer: http://www.zeromq.org

Classes

POEx::ZMQ3::Sockets is the backend ZMQ component. It can be used directly to add flexible ZeroMQ functionality to your POE applications.

There are some higher-level components providing simple access to single sockets belonging to basic types:

POEx::ZMQ3::Publisher and POEx::ZMQ3::Subscriber implement PUB and SUB type ZeroMQ sockets.

POEx::ZMQ3::Requestor and POEx::ZMQ3::Replier implement REQ and REP type sockets.

These are very simple base implementations. They can be subclassed or combined in varied ways to do more powerful things.

Roles

MooX::Role::POE::Emitter provides POE event emitter functionality and some endpoint management methods.

BUGS

Probably many; this software is fairly early in development.

See http://github.com/avenj/poex-zmq3 and feel free to report bugs via either RT or GitHub.
