There's no requirement that they exist in POE::. For example, Term::Visual lives somewhere entirely different. One drawback, however, is you can't then use use POE qw(Component::Server::TCP Component::Client::DNS); The savings from a shorter base namespace may make that moot. -- Rocco Caputo - http://poe.perl.org/
