This is very useful if you have a synchronous system which needs to communicate with a Stem system via messages. =head1 METHODS =over 4 =item * inject This method is the sole interface provided by this class. It accepts the following parameters: =over 8 =item * host (required) This parameter specifies the host with which to connect. =item * port (required) The port with which to connect on the specified host. =item * to (required) The address of the cell to which the message should be delivered. =item * type (required) The type of the message to be delivered. =item * cmd The cmd being given. This is only needed if the message's type is "cmd". =item * data The data that the message will carry, if any. =item * codec The codec to be used when communicating with the port. This defaults to "Data::Dumper", but be careful to set this to whatever value the receiving port is using. =item * timeout (defaults to 60) The amount of time, in seconds, before giving up on message delivery or reply. This is the I amount of time allowed for message delivery and receiving a reply. =item * wait_for_reply (defaults to true) If this is true then the C method will expect a reply to the message it delivers. If it doesn't receive one this will be considered an error. =back If there is an error in trying to inject a message, either with the parameters given, or with the socket connection, then this method will return an error string. If no reply was expected, this method simply returns false. Otherwise, it returns the reply message's data, which will always be a reference. =back =head1 AUTHOR Dave Rolsky =cut
