No, it can be fine to combine services---even disparate ones---into
one program, if that's the best solution to your problem. Obviously
the applicability is up to you or your systems designer.
For example, Bot::Pastebot (CPAN) is an IRC client and a pastebin web
server in one program.

I read the combined service example in the POE cookbook (

It gave me an idea to have multiple services handled from a single

run call. This way, I could handle an ajax request, a separate
web_services
request (json-rpc) as well as ikc client requests (ikc client
lite....or ikc
standard clients).
Would it be foolish to try and do all 3 of these inside one kernel
run?
Could an IKC server handle these types of requests without having to
include
the other 2......with wheels and filters? I'm still very much
learning the
ins and outs of POE so please excuse my naivete.
POE::Component::IKC::Server->spawn(
port => 5667,
name => 'automation',
verbose => 'true',
);
POE::Component::Server::HTTP->new
( Port => 5668,
ContentHandler => { "/" => \&web_handler },
Headers => { Server => 'Sample',
},
);
POE::Component::Server::JSONRPC->new(
Port => 5669,
Handler => {
'json_handler' => 'json_handler'
},
);
