That should be pretty easy, especially if stem is using a standard
data serializer from the CPAN. POE::Filter::Stem?

If I recall correctly, stem uses Event for its event loop. It should
be possible for both loops to work together if you use Event with POE
too. Getting events across the POE/stem paradigm barrier will require
a big chunk of thought, but it should be doable, at least from Session
space. Postbacks might help, but I don't know for sure.

What you say?! :)
