Before I go looking for a tall building I was hoping to seek a little wisdom from the group.

So as the title says I'm dabbling in uncharted waters for myself with POE::Component::IRC. I've seemingly managed to master the concepts presented in the example and then some but I'm at a loss with how to pass data around in package_states in POE::IRC.

For example I do all the POE song and dance and run the command $irc->yield( who => '#poe'); in &add_user. What exactly did that do?

Did it literally just run the '/who #poe' command?

Assuming thats all it did I make a package_state to parse irc_352 (/who) and get what I want called &on_who. Now thats all well and good but how do I get the data parsed in &on_who back to where it actually matters, &add_user.

I just had a crazy idea but if by chance I return the data I want in &on_who return $account, $channel; will that return a value to where I typed $irc->yield( who => '#poe')?

I'll check later today but I'm still at a loss on how to pass the results of the package_state subs around. After some Google searching around I've seen other people are confused as well, managing whois => seems to be a particular problem

Thanks.
