This documentation refers to Event::ScreenSaver version 0.0.6.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

   use Event::ScreenSaver;

   # create the screen saver object
   my $ss = Event::ScreenSaver->new();

   # add functions to events
   $ss->start( sub {print "The screen saver started\n" } );
   $ss->stop( sub { print "The screen saver stopped\n" } );

   # run the event handler
   $ss->run();

   # or more simply
   Event::ScreenSaver->new(
       start => sub {say "Screen saver started"},
       stop  => sub {say "Screen saver stopped"},
   )->run;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module will try to load the most appropriate class for monitoring the
starting and stopping of the screen saver. Currently that means the Unix
module os it probably wont work that broadly.

=head2 Extending

The recommended method of implementing this for other operating systems is to
extend L<Event::ScreenSaver::Unix> and over write the run method with an OS
specific version.

=head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS

=head2 C<run ()>

Starts the event loop monitoring the screen saver.

Note that this will never return you will need to implement some other
exit strategy (like Ctrl-C).

=head2 C<start ( [$sub] )>

Gets/Sets the start handler code.

=head2 C<stop ( [$sub] )>

Gets/Sets the stop handler code.

=head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

This module is currently only tested on a Ubuntu Linux system it will
probably work on other Desktop Linuxes and may work on other Unix systems
but will probably not work on other operating systems.

See L<Event::ScreenSaver> for its bugs and limitations.

Please report problems to Ivan Wills (ivan.wills@gmail.com).

Patches are welcome (Particularly for other operating systems).
