Hi, Gokul.
POE::Kernel->alarm() enqueues an alarm, but it is not like the built-in
alarm(). POE's alarms are dispatched by POE::Kernel in between callbacks.
Your while() loop pre-empts the dispatcher, so the enqueued alarms never occur.
If your program must delay there, you can use POE::Kernel->run_while() to run
POE's dispatcher while a variable is true. Set the variable false from the
callback you are waiting for.
