I have used Event module, to do a particular task for every n seconds.


my sample code is 


use Event;
$WatchObj = Event->timer('after' => 1,
                    'repeat' => 1,
                    'parked' => 1,
                    'cb' => sub {
                        print "printing from with in sub routine \n";
                    }
                    );
## since used parked =1 , so called start explicitly.
$WatchObj->start();
while (1)
{
}

For the above code, it should print "printing from with in the sub routine" for every 1 secs.


- But it is not printing.
- when calling $WatchObj->start() will it start and wait for the event occurs?
why it is not happening?
- If i used Event::loop instead of while(1){}. it is working properly.
- I want to register watcher, and my program has to continue with the next work. Kindly clarify.
