That was exactly it!

You know in the back of my mind I had this nagging suspicion it was lack of the return\line feed.

Its been so long since I've coded in Perl (or not enough coffee), I just couldn't put it into a solidly formed idea, or find it jumping out at me in the docs.

Heres the working code. Thanks.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use POE qw(Component::Server::TCP);

POE::Component::Server::TCP->new(
   Alias              => 'linda_server',
   Port               => 2000,
   Concurrency        => 5,
   ClientConnected    => \&event_tcp_conn,
   ClientDisconnected => \&event_tcp_disconn,
   ClientInput        => \&event_tcp_incoming,
   ClientFilter       => [ "POE::Filter::Line", Literal => chr(4) ],
);

print "Starting POE Kernel.\n";
$poe_kernel->run();

sub event_tcp_conn {
   my ($heap,$kernel) = @_[HEAP, KERNEL];
   print "Connection: $heap->{remote_ip} Accepted\n";
}

sub event_tcp_disconn {
   my ($heap,$kernel) = @_[HEAP, KERNEL];
   print "Disconnect: $heap->{remote_ip}.\n";
}

sub event_tcp_incoming {
   my ($heap, $kernel, $input) = @_[HEAP, KERNEL, ARG0];
   print "Received: $heap->{remote_ip} : $input\n";
}
