If your code relies on one of these "core" POE modules, please be sure that your dependencies name the module directly:

  POE::Loop::Event
  POE::Loop::Gtk
  POE::Loop::Tk
  POE::Wheel::Curses

Any code that depends on POE will not install these modules in the near future.

We will be releasing these modules in their own distributions, possibly as early as POE 1.005. We will not retrograde their version numbers.

To ensure dependency continuity in your own code, please depend on these modules directly as soon as possible. Your code should then pick up the right distributions automatically once they're released.

Why we're doing this:

The modules will gain test coverage. As separate releases, they can register their dependencies with the CPAN. The CPAN testers will recognize this and test the modules properly.

The core POE distribution divests itself of some "bloat". Code that people rarely use will still be available separately. Everyone else may skip downloading, installing and possibly testing it.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
