Hi, I'm a POE newbie so please bear with me ;)
I need to implement the boss/workers model in multiple processes. I think that POE::Component::IKC::Server and POE::Component::IKC::Client will do the job. However, I don't want to use a fixed port for my ikc server. Instead, I would like to have the OS assigned to me. And then, once the ikc server begins listening for incoming connections, it would then spawn off several ikc clients as separate processes, passing each the server port as a commandline arg. My question is: how do I retrieve the value of my listening port in my ikc server (and perhaps in a socket-connected POE kernel in general)? I'm using ikc server/client v0.14, ActiveState Perl 5.8.8 build 817, Windows XP Pro SP2. Thanks.
