=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is Gearman worker module for AnyEvent applications.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new(%options)

Create gearman worker object.

    my $worker = AnyEvent::Gearman::Worker->new(
        job_servers => ['127.0.0.1', '192.168.0.1:123'],
    );

Options are:

=over 4

=item job_servers => 'ArrayRef'

List of gearman servers. 'host:port' or just 'host' formats are allowed.
In latter case, gearman default port 4730 will be used.

You should set at least one job_server.

=back

=head2 register_function( $function_name, $subref )

Register worker function.

    $worker->register_function( reverse => sub {
        my $job = shift;
        my $res = reverse $job->workload;
        $job->complete($res);
    });

C<$function_name> is function name string to register.

C<$subref> is worker CodeRef that will be executed when the worker received a request for this function. And it will be passed a L<AnyEvent::Gearman::Job> object representing the job that has been received by the worker.

NOTE: Unlike L<Gearman::Worker>, this module ignore C<$subref>'s return value.
So you should call either C<< $job->complete >> or C<< $job->fail >> at least.

This is because this module stands L<AnyEvent>'s asynchronous way, and this way more flexible in AnyEvent world.

For example:

    $worker->register_function( reverse => sub {
        my $job = shift;

        my $t; $t = AnyEvent->timer(
            after => 10,
            cb    => sub {
                undef $t;
                $job->complete('done!');
            },
        );
    });

This is simplest and meaningless codes but you can write worker process with AnyEvent way. This is asynchronous worker.

=head2 unregister_function( $function_name )

Unregister worker function, notifying to server that this worker no longer handle C<$function_name>.
