1. Can one send events from one thread (that has not called POE::Kernel->run()) to a
POE loop running in another thread? Let's say thread A uses POE, creates a
POE::Session, saves $_[KERNEL] in a global, then calls POE::Kernel->run(). Thread B
waits for the saved Kernel reference to appear (polling loop OK), and calls
$savedKernelRef->post(...). Will this work? If not, what is the technique for
messaging a POE loop from outside POE? Is that allowed?
2. How do I get a reference to "self" inside an event handler? I found the following
doesn't work:
sub myEventHandler {
my $self = shift;
doSomething($_[ARG0]); # WRONG; ARG0 doesn't point to orig. 1st
argument anymore
...
Instead I've been saving a reference to the object that defines the session & event
handlers in $_[HEAP]->{'myPOEObject'}. Is that the best way?
Thank you,
