Ah, so you did :-). I actually saw the post and was anticipating one of
the other POE users to reply and if they hadn't I was planning to, then
time got away from me. POE is great at client/server (which I think is
what you have more than you think) but it shouldn't be pigeon-holed to
that. It can handle so much more.

Right, so you have a centralized server (that does the broadcasting) and
individual apps (clients) which want to receive events. Is this still
the regression framework you mentioned on the POE list?

I think it does and would be much easier than any other I have seen in
Perl. I can't speak intelligently about other languages so I won't. POE
does have a steep learning curve, but if you have OOP experience and/or
event programming experience you should be able to move pretty quickly
on it. To any beginner with POE I would suggest reading through some of
the online presentations people have given, and then dissect some of the
cookbook examples.

I am going to reply more specifically to that list as well.
