Please ignore my previous message. The SYNOPSIS code I copied has errors. A new POE::Component::Client::Ping with better documentation is on its way to the CPAN. Meanwhile... A single session cannot request multiple pings for the same address at the same time. The component uses the session ID and request address as a key into its internal data structures. A subsequent request will overwrite a previous identical one. There is a workaround, however. The program could create six sessions. Five would manage simultaneous pings, and a sixth would trigger them in order and gather their responses. -- Rocco Caputo
