[Chicago-talk] Java API/Perl revisited

[Jay Strauss]

Jonathan,

I was planning on using POE in a different aspect of what I'm trying to do.
How did you envision using it this application?  I have to read a socket
(endlessly), and dispatch methods based on the messages I receive over the
socket, I also have to talk on that socket when necessary
