thank you,i will read those right away.
i'm a little sceptic on poe as it is a
framework and i will have to give it more
time...i will leave poe for later.
You might want to rethink that, you will spend much more time trying to find solutions to all kinds of "interesting" networking-related issues than you would learning POE. Especially if you start with some POE components relevant to your task, such as POE::Component::Client::FTP, POE::Component::Client::TCP and/or POE::Component::Server::TCP.
We're not surrounded, we're in a target-rich environment!
