I did a lighterweight version of that using simple
client-server-response and meta-refresh at
<http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/WebTechniques/col56.html>.  It should
be fairly easy to adapt that to POE.

Also see my column on a web server using POE at
<http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/PerlJournal/col01.html>.  Somewhere
between those two, you should be able to write your chatserver. :)

Not needed at all.  Client meta-refresh is the proper way to go.
