I'm wondering, what's the best way in POE to handle a multi-line

handled in my code by a ReadWrite session spawned from a 
Wheel::SocketFactory connection:

CMD- arg1 arg2 ...
  ... arbitrary number of lines here ...
CMD END
I suggest writing your own private filter for separating each command in 
the protocol, based on the vauge example provided.  Since some of the 
filters do thier splitting based on regular expressions theoretically 
you could use this, such as POE::Filter::Line.

POE::Filter::Line->new(InputLiteral => "END\n");

This is of course assuming END\n will NEVER occur in your "arbitrary 
number of lines here" segment.

But again, it would definitely be most accurate to write your own filter.
