Haven't used it all. And to be honest, from skimming the docs I can't
really see if it will even do what you want it to do if you have more
than one child process running, which I can guarantee you POE will.

But as I implied, POE has a bit of a learning curve, and it requires you
to (re)structure your code in a event handling way. YMMV, probably :-)

Hu.. sounds pretty much like Parallel::ForkManager.
