Thanks. POE looks like it could be interesting, but I must admit that I can't really make heads or tails what it actually is or in what circumstances I'd want to use it. It's docs seem to assume you already know those 2 things.
The nearest thing I could find to an introduction was this Perl.com article, though haven't worked through it yet.

This is the best place to start, POE Cookbook. Lots of small working samples of managers, clients, servers, and combinations of them. (update: up-cased Poe.)

Yes, I see that the cookbook has lots of examples, but it doesn't seem to contain an introductory discussion of what POE is and why you'd want to use it. Perhaps the intention is that users will figure this out by osmosis. Or else maybe it's usefulness is hard to see unless you've already painstakingly implemented certain things yourself, by hand (things which would've been easier using POE).
