Summary: A portable networking and multitasking framework
Description:
POE is a framework for cooperative, event driven multitasking and networking in Perl. Other languages have similar frameworks. Python has Twisted. TCL has "the event loop". POE originally was developed as the core of a persistent object server and runtime environment. It has since evolved into something much more generic and widely useful. POE provides a unified interface for several other event loops, including select(), IO::Poll, Glib, Gtk, Tk, Wx, Gtk2, and so on. Check the CPAN for the full list of POE::Loop modules. POE is designed in layers, each building atop the lower level ones. Programs are free to use POE at any level of abstraction, and different levels can be mixed and matched seamlessly within a single program. POE's bundled abstraction layers are the tip of a growing iceberg. Sprocket, POE::Stage, and other CPAN distributions build upon this work. You're encouraged to look around. No matter how high you go, though, it all boils down to calls to POE::Kernel. So your down-to-earth code can easily cooperate with stratospheric systems.
