Hi Monks, I'm trying to get to grips with the perl object environment (POE) - I have an SMTPServer session which i need to be able to start and stop from the "main" session. I post a start event, which starts the server OK, BUT as the SMTP server loops, the event never finishes, so if a post a "stop" event, it never gets processed, even though I call yield() during the server's loop. is there any way to do what i want? thanks
