That's neat. I can see that I need to approach things differently with 
POE. I have some reading to do.

I'm currently using Class::Publisher for a publish/subscribe events. 
Originally, I rewrote wxPython's EventManager in perl. But it didn't 
quite do what I wanted so it's consigned to my CVS attic now. 
Class::Observable was close, but I wanted more fine-grain control over 
what events I could subscribe to.

Thanks for the code sample. It gives me something to play with.
