is there a good reason why this release should require File::Spec = 0.87 ? I have 0.83 on my cruddy old Shrike box (which used to come as part of the perl RPM (but apparently is not sold separately)) and don't particularly care to upgrade perl just for File::Spec if I don't have to.

Merijn Broeren patched it so the > non-blocking semantics don't bleed into sockets created through > other means. > > - All known issues with POE running under Cygwin have been addressed. > > - The core of the Tk event loop bridge has been rewritten, improving > its robustness and portability. It supports loop_do_timeslice(), > and it should be less prone to memory leaks. > > - POE's tests now compensate for time fluctuations (especially > negative ones) on machines with variable CPU rates. > > - POE::Kernel's select() methods have gained pass-through parameters. > Values passed to select() this way will be passed through to event > handlers. It's easier to maintain continuity through file access. > > - Jonathan Steinert found and fixed a nasty edge case where event > arguments were not destroyed within the proper context.
