POE is a framework for cooperative, event driven multitasking 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 evolved into a general purpose multitasking and
|
||
|
|
networking framework, encompassing and providing a consistent interface to
|
||
|
|
other event loops such as Event and the Tk and Gtk toolkits.
