# This program file is not meant to be fast or event particularly sane. It's
# primary goal is to show as many possible methods and functions available in
# the Net::DBus* modules as possible in a format that is easy to follow for a
# new user. You will want to read up more on the best way to do various things
# one you have your own code working.
#
# The examples here are somewhat based on the example scripts provided by the
# Net::DBus module. Please check the scripts under the 'examples' directory if
# you would like to see the similarities.
#

# Being good little coder, I make things die early and loudly.

use warnings;

# Load in the Net::DBus core module.
use Net::DBus;

# Create a connection to the Freedesktop.org 'session' bus, which is the bus
# accessible by the user invoking this module only.
my $bus=Net::DBus->session();

# Get a connection to the service with the well known name
# 'org.tle-bu.SampleService'. I know to use this service name because the
# author of the service made it clearly known in their always-excellent
# documentation. :) In our case, this is the service name used in the 'main'
# package in the 'service_01.pl' file's 'export_service' call.
my $service=$bus->get_service("org.tle-bu.SampleService");

# Now that I have a connection to the service, I need to connect to the methods
# exported under the object path '/org/tle_bu/DBusExampleObject' published
# under the interface 'org.tle_bu.DBusExampleInterface'. Technically, I could
# leave off the interface decleration *IF* I can be sure the
# 'DBusExampleObject' object is uniquly named within this service *AND* the
# remote object supports introspection. However, it is always safest to be
# specific.
#
# The object path is specified in the 'service_01.pl' file's 'new' method where
# '$self' was first invoked. The interface is specified in the same file when
# 'Net::DBus::Exporter' was called. Alternatively, if a different interface was
# defined when the 'dbus_method' call was made for the exported method I am
# interested in, I would use that here instead.
