DESCRIPTION

Reflex::Timer emits events to mark the passage of time. Its interface is new and small. Please contact the Reflex project if you need other features, or send us a pull request at github or gitorious.

PUBLIC ATTRIBUTES

interval

Define the interval between creation and the "tick" event's firing. If auto_repeat is also set, this becomes the interval between recurring "tick" events.

auto_repeat

A Boolean value. When true, Reflex::Timer will repeatedly fire "tick" events every interval seconds.

PUBLIC EVENTS

tick

Reflex::Timer emits "tick" events. We're looking for a better name, so this may change in the future. Your suggestions can help solidify the interface quicker.
