Rocco-

rcaputo++ for the response, and for all the work you've done on POE in general.

To rephrase what you said (see if I understood correctly):

The problem is that I only have one POE thing happening (the FollowTail), and when that session goes away, POE looks around and doesn't see anything else going on, so the whole POE kernel is exited. If I could find a way to keep the FollowTail session alive (even though it's not FollowTail-ing anymore) the kernel won't exit.

To see if I understood this concept correctly, I simply added the following lines to the original script, right after the call to _processData(): 

# This should simply create a dummy postback on the FollowTail session
my $subref = $sess->postback('DontDie');

This works fine, so I believe you are correct, but don't understand why the second POE::Session->create() in _displayData() isn't considered my second POEy thing? I assumed that this was my second session that it would force POE to hang around until the Tk stuff died (even after my FollowTail session exited).

Obviously not, but I don't understand why...

Finally, one side issue I encountered was that I wasn't able to use postback() to fire the sendStop event to the myClient session. As far as I could tell (in my environment) the command  $session->postback("sendStop") does nothing.

Any help with these issues would be great!

Thanks
