It would seem to me that circuits is quite similar to POE - I've never really used or played with Perl though and probably will never :) > Or, to put it briefly, I would really like to take a look at that sometime. > If you intend to release it in any form, I would like to hear about it.

Your very welcome ... circuits is by no means a replacement or competitor to Twisted - it has very different design goals and architecture (nicer/simpler ihmo). That said though anything that Twisted can do, circuits can do - I've deliberately tried to keep the Component Library as simple and straight forward as possible.
