Yes, POE as an independent entity has been mentioned before. This is the sort of thing I am talking about. These are individual projects though and not officially endorsed by an overarching initiative. The idea that libraries like POE and SOAP::Lite would be officially endorsed for network programming would be quite useful to making developers "feel better" about using these products and increase knowledge. Nor a general FAQ or Guide that says "For this type of enterprise programming go to this library and for that type, try that library..."
