That would probably be my fault.
You can start your own POE::Session instances before calling
POE::Kernel->run().
# Start a session to do something occasionally.
POE::Session->create(
inline_states => {
_start => sub {
$_[KERNEL]->delay( something => 60 );
},
something => sub {
print "Did something.\n";
$_[KERNEL]->delay( something => 60 );
},
},
);
This will operate independently of the TCP server. If it must pass
statuses back to TCP clients, try a connection registry like the one at
http://poe.perl.org/?POE_Cookbook/Chat_Server
