Event and max_cb_tm,

[Dariush Pietrzak]

Hello,
 when I played with Event some time ago it used to put 
timer on all callbacks, thus something like this:

Event-timer(interval=5,cb=sub {sleep 99;},);

didn't stop application from running.
 Now i've written a small app using Event, deployed it, and painfully
realised that single hanged event stopped it from running. 
 Is my memory failing me, have Event ever had this property of time-outing
long running callbacks? 
 I found max_cb_tm in docs, but it doesent work:
Event-timer(interval=5,max_cb_tm=1,cb=sub {sleep 99;},);
and grep max_cb_tm Event.pm reveals nothing.

 How should time limit on callbacks be implemented? Do I have to implement
it inside every cb?

regards,

Not by default.

 Event-timer(interval=5,max_cb_tm=1,cb=sub {sleep 99;},);

Hrm, did you try Event::Stats?  Just read the doc:

=item max_cb_tm = $seconds

The maximum number of seconds to spend in a callback.  If a callback
uses more time then it is aborted.  Defaults to 1 sec.  This feature
is normally disabled.  See Event::Stats.
