NAME POE::Component::Lingua::Translate - A non-blocking wrapper around Lingua::Translate SYNOPSIS use POE; use POE::Component::Lingua::Translate; POE::Session->create( package_states => [ main => [ qw(_start translated) ], ], ); $poe_kernel->run(); sub _start { my $heap = $_[HEAP]; $heap->{trans} = POE::Component::Lingua::Translate->new( alias => 'translator', back_end => 'Babelfish', src => 'en', dest => 'de', ); $poe_kernel->post(translator => translate => 'This is a sentence'); return; } sub translated { my $result = $_[ARG0]; # prints 'Dieses ist ein Satz' print $result . "\n"; } DESCRIPTION POE::Component::Lingua::Translate is a POE component that provides a non-blocking wrapper around Lingua::Translate. It accepts "translate" events and emits "translated" events back. CONSTRUCTOR "new" Arguments 'alias', an optional alias for the component's session. Any other arguments will be passed verbatim to Lingua::Translate's constructor. METHODS "session_id" Takes no arguments. Returns the POE Session ID of the component. INPUT The POE events this component will accept. "translate" The first argument should be a string containing some text to translate. The second argument (optional) can be a hash reference containing some context information. You'll get this hash reference back with the "translated" event. "shutdown" Takes no arguments, terminates the component. OUTPUT The POE events emitted by this component. "translated" ARG0 is the translated text. ARG1 is the context hashref from "translate". If there was an error, ARG2 will be the error string.
