PoCo::IKC::Server question

[Robert Landrum]

I've got a piece of code taken from the cookbook...

  POE::Component::IKC::Server->spawn(
    port  => $listen_port,
    name  => 'WorkerBee'
  );
I need to die if it fails to set up a server connection because the 
address is in use.  The only way I can see to do this is by subclassing 
and rewriting the subroutine 'error'.  I must be missing something obvious.

I suppose I could also use $SIG{__WARN__}...  Hmm.

$SIG{__WARN__} = sub { $_[0] =~ /in use/i ? die shift : warn shift };

I don't really like either solution.  Is there some way to to check the 
state of the session to see if that session's heap's die flag has been set?
