If you set an alias for the session it'll remain until the
alias is removed. In what I've been doing I usually have a `main'
session that's _signal state sends shutdown events to all the child
sessions and itself (and its shutdown state removes the alias).

I've done exactly the same thing for the same reason (needing
to do DBI calls so I start a couple of helpers with POE::Wheel::Run).
/me wonders if any of the `popular' database APIs provide a way to
make calls asynchronously, and if there might not be a way to get DBDs
to sit on top of those. POE::Component::DBI would truly be most
useful.
