Re: Implementing an event-driven object model in Perl

This sounds like the observer/observable pattern. There are two implementations that I know of on cpan: Class::Observable which I don't recommend since it has a pretty serious bug, and Class::Publisher which can be used just like Class::Observable but also gives you more options selecting notifications.

What's the bug in Class::Observable? I'm not overly familiar with it, but I'm curious. If it's esoteric then perhaps point me towards a thread. Cheers, Matt	[reply]

Removing an observer from a class::observable object will break any other observers that aren't classes (i.e. objects & subroutines). I reported it here, but I haven't heard back yet. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]
