Folks- First of all, thanks to everyone involved with POE! I've just been learning about it and am anxious to retrofit some of my existing tools to use it. It's fantastic! I'm struggling with choosing the right design alternative while still being in the dark about what all my available options might be. Basically, I have a tool that parses ascii data, organizes it into appropriate "things", then slaps them up in a GUI (using ptk) and let's the user have at them. The current implementation reads all the input first, then goes into the GUI mainloop. I want to change this so that the tool handles realtime input of the data, parsing it as it comes in, then feeding it to the GUI. I've gone through the (excellent) "Evolution of a POE Server" (http://poe.perl.org/?Evolution_of_a_POE_Server), and have successfully built my POE based data input session. I've also built a simple POE based GUI session for displaying the input in a text window (based on the cookbook "Tk Interfaces"). Now I'm wondering how I should get the data from the input session to the GUI session? This is what I refer to as inter-session data transfer. In my original design, I implemented a version of the publisher/subscriber pattern as a perl package for my own use. Should I simply use this? Are there any other options out there that I should consider? Any thoughts are appreciated! Thanks -Craig Votava Alcatel-Lucent
