Sorry to post a non-responsive reply, but I feel I have to comment on the following:

After few hours of scanning through POE docs I'm begginng to think that it's more of cool-idea then working system.

Perhaps you meant it's not workable in your case, and you may well be right about that. There are many times when POE is not the right choice, and many times when it would have been the right choice, but rewriting lots of code is not worth it. No reasonable person would disagree with that, and if that's what you meant, then please ignore the next paragraph.

If, however, you meant what you literally wrote -- that POE is not a "working system" -- then you are dead wrong. I've used POE for numerous projects in the short time since I first learned it. I have quite enjoyed those projects. It is definitely a working system, by any definition of the term. Furthermore, to make such a statement after simply scanning the docs is foolhardy and silly. I know (from experience) that POE seems rather strange at first, and it takes some actual use before it clicks. Once it does, things start to make a whole lot of sense, and it becomes a very nice system. Perhaps you will give it a shot with another project sometime.

PS: I hope this reply isn't taken the wrong way; I really am attempting to clear up what seems like a possible case of misunderstanding. I write with the best intentions.
