Hi ombibulous,

The lines should not begin with '0's, I don't know how they are creeping in.

I can answer that part of your question: It's the print $heap->{wheel}->put( $input );, which is printing the return value of put, which is 0.

Although I've worked with POE a little bit, I haven't come across your use case. And looking around in the incredibly useful POE Cookbook haven't shown me any use cases that resemble yours, so not being a POE expert I can't offer more at the moment.
