Hello, all. I am working with POE Cookbook example code that I pulled from online. I have a minimal TCP server that can successfully take multiple connections. Where I am failing is in my attempts to turn off echo on the client side. Any help would be appreciated. I have spent days trying on my own and have had no success. I was trying to use Term::ReadKey along with POE but I just don't understand POE enough to tie it in. Thank you... Code below UPDATE: Running on Win32

use warnings;
use strict;
use POE::Component::Server::TCP;
use Term::ReadKey;
use POE qw(Filter::Stream);
use Data::Dumper;

my %users;

# Create the server on port 32080, and start it running.
POE::Component::Server::TCP->new(
    Alias              => "Simple_Server",
    Port               => 32080,
    InlineStates       => { send => \&handle_send, },
    ClientConnected    => \&client_connected,
    ClientError        => \&client_error,
    ClientDisconnected => \&client_disconnected,
    ClientInput        => \&client_input,

    # So I can get input one character at a time
    ClientInputFilter => POE::Filter::Stream->new(),

    # So I can print output with no additional unwanted character ie: 
+\n
    ClientOutputFilter => POE::Filter::Line->new( Literal => chr(0), )
+,

);

$poe_kernel->run();
exit 0;
