Proc::BackOff::Linear 0.01

Proc::BackOff::Linear is a generic module meant to be directly inherited from and then modified by overloading the calculate_back_off object method.

SYNOPSIS

Usage:

use Proc::BackOff::Linear;

my $obj = Proc::BackOff::Linear->new( { $slope => 5, x => count, b => 0 );
# sequence would be
# y = slope * x + b;
# 1st failure : 5 * count + b = 5 * 1 + 0 = 5
# 2nd failure : 5 * 2 + 0 = 10
# 3nd failure : 5 * 3 + 0 = 10

Overloaded Methods

new()

Check for variables being set:

Required: slope. B defaults to 0 x defaults to count

calculate_back_off()

Returns the new back off value.
