NAME
       Net::DBus::Binding::PendingCall - A handler for pending method replies

SYNOPSIS
	 my $call = Net::DBus::Binding::PendingCall->new(method_call => $call,
							 pending_call => $reply);

	 # Wait for completion
	 $call->block;

	 # And get the reply message
	 my $msg = $call->get_reply;

DESCRIPTION
       This object is used when it is necessary to make asynchronous method calls. It provides the means to be notified when the reply is finally
       received.

METHODS
       my $call = Net::DBus::Binding::PendingCall->new(method_call => $method_call, pending_call => $pending_call);
	   Creates a new pending call object, with the "method_call" parameter being a reference to the "Net::DBus::Binding::Message::MethodCall"
	   object whose reply is being waiting for. The "pending_call" parameter is a reference to the raw C pending call object.

       $call->cancel
	   Cancel the pending call, causing any reply that is later received to be discarded.

       my $boolean = $call->get_completed
	   Returns a true value if the pending call has received its reply, or a timeout has occurred.

       $call->block
	   Block the caller until the reply is received or a timeout occurrs.

       my $msg = $call->get_reply;
	   Retrieves the "Net::DBus::Binding::Message" object associated with the complete call.

       $call->set_notify($coderef);
	   Sets a notification function to be invoked when the pending call completes. The callback will be passed a single argument which is this
	   pending call object.
