NAME

Event::ExecFlow::Frontend - Abstract base class for custom frontends

SYNOPSIS

#-- Derived from Event::ExecFlow::Frontend
my $frontend = MyApp::GUI::Frontent->new();
my $job      = Event::ExecFlow::Job::Command->new ( ... );
$frontend->start_job($job);
#-- Later the following methods are called and need to
#-- by implemented by you
$frontend->report_job_start($job);
$frontend->report_job_progress($job);
$frontend->report_job_error($job);
$frontend->report_job_warning($job);
$frontend->report_job_finished($job);
$frontend->log($message);

DESCRIPTION

This is an abstract base class and usually not used directly from the application. For daily programming the attributes defined in this class are most important, since they are common to all Jobs of the Event::ExecFlow framework.
