    ...
  });
  $client->on(error => sub {
    my ($client, $err) = @_;
    ...
  });
  $client->connect(address => 'mojolicio.us', port => 80);
  # Start reactor if necessary
  $client->reactor->start unless $client->reactor->is_running;

    ...
  });

Mojo::IOLoop::Client inherits all methods from Mojo::EventEmitter and implements the following new ones.

connect¶

  $client->connect(address => '127.0.0.1', port => 3000);

address

Address or host name of the peer to connect to, defaults to "localhost".

handle

Use an already prepared handle.

local_address

Local address to bind to.

port

Port to connect to.

timeout

Maximum amount of time in seconds establishing connection may take before getting canceled, defaults to 10.

tls

Enable TLS.
