Ok, now this baffles me to the core. I'm very simply using a subroutine: 
sub reload_module {
    undefSub("on_public");

    delete $INC{"contrib.pl"};
    require "contrib.pl";
}

to reload a module when using POE::Component::IRC. The on_public subroutine is the only sub (the only anything now) in the module contrib.pl (for testing). When I run the reloader, nothing reloads. However, here's when it gets funny. If I just write a testing script that does the same reload but not using POE, it works. Now, here are the two places I THINK there could be a problem. 1: 
POE::Session->new
    ( _start => \&bot_start,
        irc_001    => \&on_connect,
        irc_public => \&on_public,
        irc_notice => \&on_notice,
        irc_msg    => \&on_msg,
    );

Could it be that when you use this type of session that it caches the subroutine? If so, how to I force this session to refresh without reconnecting? 2: In the on_public subroutine, it basically just outputs this 
$_[KERNEL]->post( $irc{server} => privmsg => $irc{chan}, "\0037 this i
+s the standard test!");

Could it be caching that?? Anyone know? I'd bet it's #1 but I don't know how to go about clearing out that session info.
