Ahhhhh... somebody send Evan some Syrup of Epicac. I know from alot of the JaaaaaaaVVaaaaaa programmers I have to deal with... Everything is an object to them. Well, not everything is an Object.
I actually like State machines BETTER.? So think of each POE session as a state machine.? Look at a Moore or Mealy model.? Both work well in POE. I think that Moose ing POE may be akin to putting a Briggs and Stratton motor in a Top Fuel Dragster! (Somethin is wrong with this picture!)

I've begun packing your bags to send you to Moose-landville. My goal is to totally deprive you of blessed arrays, and closures in new. I personal yearn for the day when you lack the confusing nonsense that gives you your identity. The problem is other modules don't look like you for a reason -- you're ugly. You're actually worse than ugly, you're hideous. You're the ugly bastard brother of the ugly duck. While you aver that smaller, more modular functions are better for an event driven systems, at your core you're black with deception. You have the longest most ugly and hard to follow monolithic logic ever. But, wait I think I'm playing this down... See, you're more than just one type of ugly: you've actually got all the unique colors of ugly; but, unlike a rainbow they're are in no predictable order. That's right, your capriciously ugly. Above and beyond blessed arrays, why for the love of god do you feel the need to strive for object-orientation through "components." What is a component anyway?!? Why can't I just go my POE->new( kernel_args )->wheel( wheel_args )->add_to_wheel( new_event ). Why do I have to read to just figure out your obscure coding methodology? Why can't you just be like everyone else. How do your individual components talk to each other, why is it so hard to figure out what your doing when you fail to do what I want? You act like Perl's objects are an unfit for life, but in the end my code just looks like a soup of disassociated components that sometimes work, and sometimes don't. Why is it so hard to publish a module that attaches to the POE Kernel if it is there, and if it isn't operates in a sane fashion...
