ImageAbsolute Linux is a lightweight Slackwarederivative that uses an Icewm, pcmanfm, ROX-Filer,ivman, and others to create a lightweight yet easyto use distribution. Installation is text-basedbut simplified, and all packages are installed atonce. It can run on a Pentium II and above,including SMP systems. A minimum 128MB RAM isrecommended. It features ease of browsing anyconnected device in pcmanfm and an auto-popup menufor inserted playable media. "Restricted" codecsare available to those eligible via a root-userinstaller. There is a large range of softwareavailable, including OpenOffice, Mplayer, GIMP,and K3B.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
This version is current with the Slack 12.2 release. There are no base installer changes since rc1, but absolute-current in the repository is updated to 3.0.5. Absolute now has a new homepage, an additional repository, and a new forum. FTP on absolutelinux.org also has an /incoming folder to allow user uploads of packages.Image

io::async::timer::absolute

IO::Async::Timer::Absolute(3pm) 			User Contributed Perl Documentation			   IO::Async::Timer::Absolute(3pm)

NAME

       "IO::Async::Timer::Absolute" - event callback at a fixed future time

SYNOPSIS

	use IO::Async::Timer::Absolute;

	use POSIX qw( mktime );

	use IO::Async::Loop;
	my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new;

	my @time = gmtime;

	my $timer = IO::Async::Timer::Absolute->new(
	   time => mktime( 0, 0, 0, $time[4]+1, $time[5], $time[6] ),

	   on_expire => sub {
	      print "It's midnight
";
	      $loop->stop;
	   },
	);

	$loop->add( $timer );

	$loop->run;

DESCRIPTION

       This subclass of IO::Async::Timer implements one-shot events at a fixed time in the future. The object waits for a given timestamp, and
       invokes its callback at that point in the future.

       For a "Timer" object that waits for a delay relative to the time it is started, see instead IO::Async::Timer::Countdown.

EVENTS

       The following events are invoked, either using subclass methods or CODE references in parameters:

   on_expire
       Invoked when the timer expires.

PARAMETERS

       The following named parameters may be passed to "new" or "configure":

       on_expire => CODE
	       CODE reference for the "on_expire" event.

       time => NUM
	       The epoch time at which the timer will expire.

       Once constructed, the timer object will need to be added to the "Loop" before it will work.

       Unlike other timers, it does not make sense to "start" this object, because its expiry time is absolute, and not relative to the time it is
       started.
