NAME

       Net::DBus::RemoteObject - Access objects provided on the bus

SYNOPSIS

         my $service = $bus->get_service("org.freedesktop.DBus");
         my $object = $service->get_object("/org/freedesktop/DBus");

         print "Names on the bus {\n";
         foreach my $name (sort @{$object->ListNames}) {
             print "  ", $name, "\n";
         }
         print "}\n";

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides the API for accessing remote objects available on the bus. It uses
       the autoloader to fake the presence of methods based on the API of the remote object.
       There is also support for setting callbacks against signals, and accessing properties of
       the object.

METHODS

       my $object = Net::DBus::RemoteObject->new($service, $object_path[, $interface], \%params);
           Creates a new handle to a remote object. The $service parameter is an instance of the
           Net::DBus::RemoteService method, and $object_path is the identifier of an object
           exported by this service, for example "/org/freedesktop/DBus". For remote objects
           which implement more than one interface it is possible to specify an optional name of
           an interface as the third parameter. This is only really required, however, if two
           interfaces in the object provide methods with the same name, since introspection data
           can be used to automatically resolve the correct interface to call cases where method
           names are unique. Rather than using this constructor directly, it is preferable to use
           the "get_object" method on Net::DBus::RemoteService, since this caches handles to
           remote objects, eliminating unnecessary introspection data lookups.

           The %params parameter contains extra configuration parameters for the object.
           Currently a single parameter is supported, "timeout" which takes a value in
           milliseconds to use as the timeout for method calls on the object.

       my $object = $object->as_interface($interface);
           Casts the object to a specific interface, returning a new instance of the
           Net::DBus::RemoteObject specialized to the desired interface. It is only necessary to
           cast objects to a specific interface, if two interfaces export methods or signals with
           the same name, or the remote object does not support introspection.

       my $service = $object->get_service
           Retrieves a handle for the remote service on which this object is attached. The
           returned object is an instance of Net::DBus::RemoteService

       my $path = $object->get_object_path
           Retrieves the unique path identifier for this object within the service.

       my $object = $object->get_child_object($subpath, [$interface])
           Retrieves a handle to a child of this object, identified by the relative path
           $subpath. The returned object is an instance of "Net::DBus::RemoteObject". The
           optional $interface parameter can be used to immediately cast the object to a specific
           type.

       my $sigid = $object->connect_to_signal($name, $coderef);
           Connects a callback to a signal emitted by the object. The $name parameter is the name
           of the signal within the object, and $coderef is a reference to an anonymous
           subroutine. When the signal $name is emitted by the remote object, the subroutine
           $coderef will be invoked, and passed the parameters from the signal. A unique $sigid
           will be returned, which can be later passed to "disconnect_from_signal" to remove the
           handler

       $object->disconnect_from_signal($name, $sigid);
           Disconnects from a signal emitted by the object. The $name parameter is the name of
           the signal within the object. The $sigid must be the unique signal handler ID returned
           by a previous "connect_to_signal" method call.
