DESCRIPTION

POE::Component::Metabase::Client::Submit provides a POE mechanism for submitting facts to a Metabase web server.

CONSTRUCTOR

submit

POE::Component::Metabase::Client::Submit->spawn( %args );

Constructs a POE session that will manage submitting a Metabase fact to a Metabase web server.

Takes a number of mandatory arguments:

'profile', a Metabase::User::Profile object
'secret', a Metabase::User::Secret object
'fact', a Metabase::Fact object  
'event', an event handler in the calling session to invoke on completion
'uri', the uri of a Metabase server to submit to.

And some optional arguments:

'session', a session alias, reference or ID to send 'event' to instead of the calling session
'http_alias', the alias or ID of an existing POE::Component::Client::HTTP session to use.
'context', anything that can be stored in a scalar that is meaningful to you.

OUTPUT EVENT

An event will be sent to either the calling session or the session specified with session during submit.

ARG0 of the event will be a hashref with the following keys:

success

Indicates that the submission was successful.

error

If there was an error this will contain a string indicating the error that occurred.

context

If you specified context in submit, whatever you passed will be here.
