NAME IPC::MorseSignals - Communicate between processes with Morse signals. VERSION Version 0.13 SYNOPSIS # In the sender process use IPC::MorseSignals::Emitter; my $deuce = new IPC::MorseSignals::Emitter speed => 1024; $deuce->post('HLAGH') for 1 .. 3; $deuce->send($pid); ... # In the receiver process use IPC::MorseSignals::Receiver; local %SIG; my $pants = new IPC::MorseSignals::Receiver \%SIG, done => sub { print STDERR "GOT $_[1]\n"; }; DESCRIPTION This module implements a rare form of IPC by sending Morse-like signals through "SIGUSR1" and "SIGUSR2". Both of those signals are used, so you won't be able to keep them for something else when you use this module. IPC::MorseSignals::Emitter is a base class for emitters ; IPC::MorseSignals::Receiver is a base class for receivers. But, seriously, use something else for your IPC. :) DEPENDENCIES You need the complete Bit::MorseSignals distribution. Carp (standard since perl 5), POSIX (idem) and Time::HiRes (since perl 5.7.3) are also required. SEE ALSO IPC::MorseSignals::Emitter, IPC::MorseSignals::Receiver. Bit::MorseSignals, Bit::MorseSignals::Emitter, Bit::MorseSignals::Receiver. perlipc for information about signals in perl. For truly useful IPC, search for shared memory, pipes and semaphores.
