in reply to Opinions and Experience with POE
I use POE for several monitoring scripts. They run for months at a time without problems. When I have had problems with bugs or memory leaks, it has always been my code, or another non-POE library that was the problem.
POE is good stuff.
If you haven't done event driven programming before, POE will seem weird at first. But the model isn't that hard to grasp—just break tasks into smallish chunks, and let each chunk do its thing, schedule the next chunk and then return.
Whether or not you grok event-driven program, you'll have to get used to a fair bit of jargon, including terms like PoCo and Wheel. These are really just techniques for packaging code for reuse. Remember that and all will be well.
I would and will definitely use POE again.
