NAME

LWP::Iterator::UserAgent - a non-blocking LWP iterator

SYNOPSIS

new

my $pua = LWP::Iterator::UserAgent->new(deadline => 10.5);

deadline

$pua->deadline;

$pua->deadline($seconds);

pester

Where the Parallel::UserAgent expects you to wait() on it, this class needs to be nagged or it will never do anything.

while(1) {
  $pua->pester and last;
}

Optionally, you can pass a timeout value.

$are_we_there_yet = $pua->pester(0.1);

Note that while the LWP::Parallel::UserAgent class uses timeout as an overall deadline, this class uses the deadline attribute.
