Repository Details

POE is a portable perl multitasking and networking framework for any event loop. 
Version 1.370

--------------------
Detailed Information
--------------------

POE is bigger than this README.  Please see http://poe.perl.org/ for
more information.

---------------------
Documentation Roadmap
---------------------

POE includes a lot of documentation.  The main POE man page includes
references to everything else.

POE has been around for a while.  The CHANGES file has been limited to
changes in the past year to help keep the distribution size down.
POE's web site includes a complete change history broken down by
release.

--------------
Installing POE
--------------

POE can be installed through the CPAN or CPANPLUS shell in the usual
manner.

  % perl -MCPAN -e shell
  cpan> install POE

Or

  % cpan -i POE

http://poe.perl.org/?Where_to_Get_POE explains other options for
obtaining POE, including anonymous Subversion access.

------------
Test Results
------------

The CPAN Testers are a group of volunteers who test new CPAN
distributions on a number of platforms.  You can see their test
results at: http://testers.cpan.org/search?request=dist&dist=POE

POE's ongoing improvement relies on your feedback.  You file bug
reports, feature requests, and even success stories by e-mailing
<[email protected]>.

-------------
Test Coverage
-------------

POE's tests cover a significant portion of the distribution.  A
thumbnail sketch of POE's test coverage is available, but do not use
it as an accurate gauge of quality.

  http://poe.perl.org/?POE's_test_coverage_report

----------------
Full Change Logs
----------------

Thanks to the magic of distributed version control, POE is hosted at
three locations for redundancy.  You can browse the source at any one
of:

https://github.com/rcaputo/poe

https://gitorious.org/poe

http://poe.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb-index.cgi

Complete change logs can also be browsed at those sites.  They all
provide RSS news feeds for those who want to follow development in
near-realtime.

-----------
What POE Is
-----------

POE is an event-driven networking and multitasking framework for Perl.
It has been in active development since 1996, with its first open
release in 1998.  O'Reilly's "The Perl Conference" (now OSCON's Perl
track) named POE "Best New Module" in 1999.

POE has been used in mission-critical systems such as internetworked
financial markets, file systems, commerce and application servers.  It
has been used in projects ranging from a few lines of code to tens of
thousands.

POE is compatible with perl versions as old as 5.005_03.  This may
change as it becomes harder to support old versions of Perl over time.

POE includes an evolving component framework.  Components are
high-level, modular, reusable pieces of programs.  Several components
have been published on the CPAN, and more are listed on POE's web
site.  See: http://search.cpan.org/search?query=POE&mode=dist

POE includes components and libraries for making quick work of network
clients, servers, and peers.  A simple stand-alone web application
takes about 30 lines of code, most of which is your own custom logic.

poe-component-client-http

POE::Component::Client::HTTP is a parallel HTTP user-agent for POE. It lets other sessions run while HTTP transactions are being processed, and it lets several HTTP transactions be processed in parallel. POE::Component::Client::HTTP supports keep-alive through POE::Component::Client::Keepalive, which in turn uses POE::Component::Client::DNS for non-blocking host name resolution.

Workbench supports the author’s edit-run-interrupt development workflow. Features may come and go (even dump core) without bringing the bot down or generating excess part/join activity.

poe-component-client-keepalive

POE::Component::Client::Keepalive creates and manages connections for other components. It maintains a cache of kept-alive connections for quick reuse. It is written specifically for clients that can benefit from kept-alive connections, such as HTTP clients. Using it for one-shot connections would probably be silly.

cddb-perl

CDDB protocol (cddbp) servers provide compact disc information for programs that need it. This allows such programs to display disc and track titles automatically, and it provides extended information like liner notes and lyrics. This module provides a high-level Perl interface to cddbp servers, including the FreeDB. With it, a Perl program can identify and possibly gather details about a CD based on its “table of contents” (the disc’s track times and offsets).

text-conversation

Text::Conversation attempts to thread conversational text one line at a time.

The repository includes an IRC bot that will attempt to build a conversation tree from a channel’s chatter.

filter-template

Filter::Template is a Perl source filter that provides simple inline source code templates. Inlined source code can be significantly faster than subroutines, especially for small-scale functions like accessors and mutators. On the other hand, they are more difficult to maintain and use. Choose your trade-offs wisely.

poe-component-client-useragent

POE::Component::Client::UserAgent is a parallel web user-agent based on LWP and LWP::Parallel. It lets other tasks run while Internet requests are pending, and it lets several requests run in parallel. In theory, it’s more standards compliant and capable of more protocols than POE::Component::HTTP.
