True. But they could be perl objects dealing with it, embedded in sessions
in any way. The idea behind that is that developers could freely link these
pieces and construct various data flow graphs.

Yes, they should be lightweigth. But as POE is heading to distributed
applications (at least I hope so :) the case where data comes from A
goes over B to C and all that on separate hosts gets more important.
Imaging being able to easily insert a monitoring component and stuff like
that. think about aspect/subject oriented programming, ...
I prefer a slow applications that takes less time to build than vice versa :)
