is there a good reason why this release should require File::Spec = 0.87 ?
I have 0.83 on my cruddy old Shrike box (which used to come as part of the
perl RPM (but apparently is not sold separately)) and don't particularly
care to upgrade perl just for File::Spec if I don't have to.

Subject: POE 0.32 is released
POE 0.32 has just gone onto the PAUSE. It should reach your favorite
CPAN mirror shortly. It's also available through SourceForge, with a
homegrown ActiveState PPD and tarball for your convenience. As usual,
http://poe.perl.org/?Where_to_Get_POE is there for guidance.
Highlights of the changes since 0.31:
- The POE::Session-new() deprecation continues. The new()
constructor carps when used.
- Signal semantics have changed slightly. Now SIGCHLD and SIGPIPE
are IGNORE by default. Previously, programs that didn't handle
SIGCHLD would leave zombie processes.
- Ed W. patched POE::Wheel::SockteFactory to support non-blocking
connect() under ActiveState Perl. Merijn Broeren patched it so the
non-blocking semantics don't bleed into sockets created through
other means.
- All known issues with POE running under Cygwin have been addressed.
- The core of the Tk event loop bridge has been rewritten, improving
its robustness and portability. It supports loop_do_timeslice(),
and it should be less prone to memory leaks.
- POE's tests now compensate for time fluctuations (especially
negative ones) on machines with variable CPU rates.
- POE::Kernel's select() methods have gained pass-through parameters.
Values passed to select() this way will be passed through to event
handlers. It's easier to maintain continuity through file access.
- Jonathan Steinert found and fixed a nasty edge case where event
arguments were not destroyed within the proper context. In rare
cases this would cause bizarre fatal errors.
The other 90% of this iceberg can be found at
http://poe.perl.org/?POE_CHANGES .
Thank you for your help. A lot of POE's development comes from people
on this list, whether through comments, bug reports or patches. POE
wouldn't be nearly as cool without you.
