AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi - AnyEvent adaptor for Irssi
use AnyEvent; # this module gets loaded automatically when running under irssi
This module provides transparent support for AnyEvent. You don't have to do anything to make Irssi scripts work with AnyEvent.
Limitations of this backend and implementation details:
That means you must set a callback on any condvars, or otherwise make sure to never call recv on a condvar that hasn't been signalled yet.
AnyEvent will take over child handling, as Irssi only polls for children once/second and cannot handle unspecific child watchers.
This should have no negative effect, as AnyEvent will emit a pidwait signal just like irssi itself would.
Irssi artificially enforces timers to have at least a 10ms delay.
This means that some applications will be limited to a rate of 100Hz (for example, Coro::AnyEvent thread scheduling).
Yeah.
Apart from that, documentation is notoriously wrong (e.g. file handles are not supported by input_add, contrary to documentation), hooking into irssi has to be done in... weird... ways, but otherwise, Irssi is surprisingly full-featured (for basically being a hack).
