Hi, John. I don't see anything obviously wrong in the code you provided. I don't have MPD, and I'm not familiar with the module you're using, but I can offer some general POE advice.
POE has some debugging switches, documented in POE::Kernel. I recommend at least enabling: ASSERT_EVENTS, ASSERT_USAGE, and ASSERT_RETVALS. You can do this in your shell: export POE_ASSERT_EVENTS=1 export POE_ASSERT_USAGE=1 export POE_ASSERT_RETVALS=1 Or to turn them all on (and a bit more) in one fell swoop: export POE_ASSERT_DEFAULT=1 Then run your program. Hopefully POE will warn you about something relevant. -- Rocco Caputo <rcap...@pobox.com> On Feb 4, 2014, at 07:56, John <j...@tonebridge.com> wrote: > > none of the events I send get > to the daemon (also running on localhost with default port). > maybe this is not a problem > with MPD.pm but my usage of POE. > > I can use the command line client that comes with MPD to > interact with the daemon and that works as expected as well as it > generates logging information.
