Event::Emitter::Inter-Process

An extension to Event::Emitter that will allow you to communicate efficiently between processes.

Syntax

This module assumes you are familiar with (Event::Emitter)[https://github.com/tony-o/perl6-event-emitter]

Parent process

use Event::Emitter::Inter-Process;

my $event = Event::Emitter::Inter-Process.new;

my Proc::Async $child .=new(:w, 'perl6', '-Ilib', 'child.pl6');

$event.hook($child);

$event.on('echo', -> $data {
  # got $data from child;
  say $data.decode;
});

$child.start;
sleep 1;


$event.emit('echo'.encode, 'hello'.encode);
$event.emit('echo'.encode, 'world'.encode);

sleep 2;

Child process

use Event::Emitter::Inter-Process;

my $event = Event::Emitter::Inter-Process.new(:sub-process);

$event.on('echo', -> $data {
  "child echo: {$data.decode}".say;
  $event.emit('echo'.encode, $data);
});

sleep 3;

Parent output:
