An ApplicationServer for Perl

POE can wrap itself around a GTK loop and manage a fistful of transient, self-contained, self-creating objects. Or it can run a Webserver as a foreground interface to a bunch of background Perl objects doing God knows what. Even NTK’s official Perl lamers wrote an HTTP SOAP server which simultaneously controlled an IRC bot by using POE to splice a bunch of CPAN modules together—in an evening. POE is ZOPE without the “Zzzz” of Python. It’s small enough to understand, and big enough to extend. It is worth a weekend of your copious free time. — http://www.ntk.net/2001/05/25/#TRACKING
