Hi, I have a poe component tcp server and a session. I need to send updates from the session to the server. here is a sample I used that didn't work: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use YAML;
sub POE::Kernel::ASSERT_DEFAULT () { 1 }
use POE;
use POE::Component::Server::TCP;
use POE::Filter::Reference;

POE::Component::Server::TCP->new(Alias        => 'TOF',
                 Port         => 2222,
                 ClientFilter => ['POE::Filter::Reference'],
                 ClientInput  => \&client_input,
                 InlineStates => {Update_clients => \&update_clients,
                            },
                 );

POE::Session->create(inline_states => {_start       => \&_start,
                       Send_updates => \&send_update,
                       _stop        => \&_stop,
                   },
             );

POE::Kernel->run();

exit;

sub client_input {
    my $input = $_[ARG0];

    print 'my input = ' . YAML::Dump($input);
}

sub update_clients {
    my $update = $_[ARG0];

    print 'my update is ' . YAML::Dump($update);
}

sub _start {
    my $kernel = $_[KERNEL];
    print "session started\n";

    $kernel->yield('Send_update');
}

sub send_update {
    my $kernel = $_[KERNEL];
    
    my $update = {Header => 'update',
          Msg    => 'Hello Server',
    };
    $kernel->post('TOF', 'Update_clients', $update);
    $kernel->delay('Send_update', 10);
}

sub _stop {
    print "session end\n";
}

this is the output_errors I get when I run it: session started a 'Update_clients' event was sent from talk_from_session_to_server.pl at 53 to session 2 (TOF) but session 2 (TOF) has neither a handler for it nor one for _default what am I doing wrong? thanks for the help
