NAME

Mojo::IOLoop::Thread - Threaded Replacement for Mojo::IOLoop::Subprocess

SYNOPSIS

use Mojo::IOLoop::Thread;

# Operation that would block the event loop for 5 seconds
my $subprocess = Mojo::IOLoop::Thread->new;
$subprocess->run(
  sub {
    my $subprocess = shift;
    sleep 5;
    return '♥', 'Mojolicious';
  },
  sub {
    my ($subprocess, $err, @results) = @_;
    say "Subprocess error: $err" and return if $err;
    say "I $results[0] $results[1]!";
  }
);

# Start event loop if necessary
$subprocess->ioloop->start unless $subprocess->ioloop->is_running;

or

use Mojo::IOLoop;
use Mojo::IOLoop::Thread;

my $iol = Mojo::IOLoop->new;
$iol->subprocess(
  sub {'♥'},
  sub {
    my ($subprocess, $err, @results) = @_;
    say "Subprocess error: $err" and return if $err;
    say @results;
  }
);
$loop->start;

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::IOLoop::Thread is a multithreaded alternative for Mojo::IOLoop::Subprocess which is not available under Win32. It is a dropin replacement, takes the same parameters and works analoguous by just using threads instead of forked processes.

Mojo::IOLoop::Thread replaces "subprocess" in Mojo::IOLoop with a threaded version on module load. Please make sure that you load Mojo::IOLoop first.
