I have seen people call POE::Kernel->run() at the end of their child
process, using Program => \&function.
sub function {
POE::Session->new(...);
POE::Kernel->run();
}
Some points to remember:
1. The child process exits once function() returns.
2. Function won't return until POE::Kernel->run() does.
3. POE::Kernel->run() won't return until all sessions have stopped.
4. Sessions active in the parent process will be copied on fork. They
may then be running in the parent and child processes.
