NAME

POE::Sugar::Args - Get "pretty", OO representation of args.

SYNOPSIS

 use POE::Sugar::Args;

 sub _start {
   my $poe = sweet_args;
   $poe->kernel->yield( '_stop' );
 }

 # or, the long, boring way
 
 sub _stop {
   my $poe = POE::Sugar::Args->new( @_ );
   delete $poe->heap->{client};
 }

ABSTRACT

This module give an OO representation to arguments POE passes to event states. I will not lie to you. This adds heavy, bulky code underneath. On the other hand, it makes arguments for POE events much more palatable. Of course, this is a Sugar module, meaning, it will rot your program in odd (you'll be hooked) and unexpected ways (performace), but you took the candy so you can suffer the consequences. Good luck.

DESCRIPTION

Exports

sweet_args

This function will get @_ from the calling state by doing deep, dark voodoo. It will construct the POE::Sugar::Args object for you. Very handy.
