HI

I was wondering if any one out there has had experience using POE before. I have read the article on POE from perl.com. And have followed this example and gotten it to work.

What I want to do is to run a program that will run a process to copy a group of files. But I want it to run this process multiple times at once. Now I know that POE is event driven. So I could make a child process that will run the file coping multiple times at once. But what my question is that all the examples I see of people using POE is in a server client environment. Will I still need to set it up in this way using sockets to connect to POE? Can I just include this in program that uses POE?

If any one can help me out with some info it would be great , thanks

Vic
