Im trying to make a very SIMPLE tcp client using POE. The problem is that i recieve the welcome message from the server but then nothing. When i eventually close the client using ctrl + c i recieve all the data that should have been sent when the program is running. this is the code.. 
#!/usr/bin/perl 

use strict;
use warnings;
use POE;
use POE::Component::Client::TCP;
use POE::Filter::Stream;;
my $port = 4853;    # The port to connect to.
my $host  = "someserver";  # The host to test.

POE::Component::Client::TCP->new
      ( RemoteAddress => $host,
        RemotePort => $port,
        Filter     => "POE::Filter::Stream",         
        Connected => \&on_connect,
    ServerInput => \&on_recieve,
      );

sub on_connect {
            print "connected to $host:$port ...\n";
        $_[HEAP]->{server}->put('thepassword');    
}

sub on_recieve {
       my ( $kernel, $heap, $input ) = @_[ KERNEL, HEAP, ARG0 ];
       print $input;
       
}
