Hi, as the subject says it, "new user" so expect the unexpected. I've been lurking for some times and I will try to use POE during the holidays (I always have a Xmas project). The learning curve is steep. Not because it's complex but more because the doc is a bit difficult to follow (or find).
Some input: POE::Component::Child doesn't install without force as it want to run less tests than planned. The MP3 player example (which would have been cool to see working as I want to try a curses based interface to start with) doesn't work. The PoCo::MP3 doesn't exist anymore on CPAN and installing it manually doesn't help as POE complains about the usage of a deprecated function. This is a start with three step back and none forward. I hope my luck gets better. Cheers, Nadim.
