It really sounds like you need to segregate the webapp from the actual
daemon. And with that, you do not need to run POE within mod_perl (not
that you could anyhow). But you obviously need POE communication
between the web server and the POE daemon. So I recommend using
POE::Component::IKC::ClientLite
(http://search.cpan.org/~gwyn/POE-Component-IKC-0.2003/IKC/ClientLite.pm).
As for worker/controller interaction, IKC can serve those needs too,
without having to involve a protocol layer beyond a TCP socket and the
serializer that IKC uses.
