in reply to schedule alarms with POE and Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable ?

In the init method of your plugin module, create a POE session with object states, so that its event handlers will have access to the plugin module (as $self). Then store the session id in the object so that your pluggable handlers can easily send events to the session like this:

$poe_kernel->post($self->{session_id}, 'add_timer', 'something');

    Thank you Hinrik! Great that you as the maintainer find the time to help me out!

    I am having troubles though. I really tried to get some code out of your words but I failed. The documentation on POE was no help for me (do you have any other suggestions on where to read/learn about poe than on the POE website?). I added to the init method:

    sub init {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->config(
        {
            user_sc                     => 2,
        }
    );

    POE::Session->create(
    inline_states => {
        _start => sub {
                my ($kernel, $heap) = @_[KERNEL, HEAP];
                my $session_id = $_[SESSION] -> ID;
                $self->config(
                        {
                                user_session_id => $session_id,
                        }
                );
        },
       test  => sub {
        },
    }
    );
}

    This, however, returns the following error:

    Error loading Can't load MyModule: Bareword "KERNEL" not allowed while
+ "strict subs" in use at ./MyModule.pm line 34.

    So apart from this error (how do I get rid of it?):
    Did I get the session id the right way? Did I use the right way to store it in $self?
