with my apologies to everyone who has waited so long for this release, version 1.39 of this module has just been posted to CPAN.
it fixes a number of issues, see the Changes file. in the coming year I hope to have more time to devote to POE (at present I'm working 60+ hrs/wk which leaves little time for anything else), specifically to release a series of modules that implement a p2p network I built a while back. until then, Happy New Year's everyone! - ekkis
