Hi Peter,
I don't think I would organize this the way it's been done. You are
basically providing the same code refs to two different sessions for
starters. This could easily be done with a single session and using
something like POE::Wheel::FollowTail, so that anytime there is new
input appended to the file, your events would get called. I don't know
how your input file gets generated, but I assume it is just a log file
that keeps growing if the file remains existent.
If you are set on doing it this way, I would aggregate your two
sessions into one. No real need to have two sessions. Also, your email
mentions one way of delayed events and your code uses another. Which
one are you using? I am not exactly sure alarm_set over and over again
is what you want to do. See POE::Kernel.
Just some things to think about.
