Re^2: What's a good alternative to browser-webapp-webserver for remote apps?

Thanks. POE looks like it could be interesting, but I must admit that I can't really make heads or tails what it actually is or in what circumstances I'd want to use it. It's docs seem to assume you already know those 2 things.

Or else maybe it's usefulness is hard to see unless you've already painstakingly implemented certain things yourself, by hand (things which would've been easier using POE).	[reply]
