# NAME

Win32::Event - Use Win32 event objects from Perl

# SYNOPSIS

            use Win32::Event;

            $event = Win32::Event->new($manual,$initial,$name);
            $event->wait();

# DESCRIPTION

This module allows access to the Win32 event objects. The `wait` method and `wait_all` & `wait_any` functions are inherited from the Win32::IPC module.

## Methods

$event = Win32::Event->new([$manual, [$initial, [$name]]])
  Constructor for a new event object. If `$manual` is true, you must manually reset the event after it is signalled (the default is false). If `$initial` is true, the initial state of the object is signalled (default false). If `$name` is omitted, creates an unnamed event object.

  If `$name` signifies an existing event object, then `$manual` and `$initial` are ignored and the object is opened.

$event = Win32::Event->`open($name)`
  Constructor for opening an existing event object.

$event->pulse
  Signal the `$event` and then immediately reset it. If `$event` is a manual-reset event, releases all threads currently blocking on it. If it's an auto-reset event, releases just one thread.

  If no threads are waiting, just resets the event.

$event->reset
  Reset the `$event` to nonsignalled.

$event->set
  Set the `$event` to signalled.

$event->`wait([$timeout])`
  Wait for `$event` to be signalled. See Win32::IPC.
