Hi, You're not beating a dead horse, and I haven't forgotten your suggestion. It's just that last time I looked at POE, I got brain ache. The other reason I've tried to avoid POE is that I want my package to have as few dependancies as possible. I intend once it's finished to make it available for others to use and therefore want the installation to be as painless as possible. The only area I'm currently concerned about is the Model radio controller as I haven't actually had my hands on one yet, and don't know what the communications methods is yet. If it's something like a standards serial cable link then I may need to use POE to drive this. The argument against Event.pm is the same one as POE, but I will look into it if the need arrises.
