Ug! I got the URL wrong; it's really http://poe.perl.org/?POE_RFCs/Deprecate_Sample_Programs <-- with the S Added to the plan: At some point, the cookbook and possibly the tutorials should be bundled into CPAN distributions. Perhaps POE::Tutorials or POE::Examples, so the low-tech and high-altitude crowds can access them away from a proper internet. How we maintain both at once is an interesting exercise, and ideas are welcome. -- Rocco Caputo - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://poe.perl.org/
