ANN: POE distribution break-up (some breakage may occur)

If your code relies on one of these "core" POE modules, please be sure  
that your dependencies name the module directly:

   POE::Loop::Event
   POE::Loop::Gtk
   POE::Loop::Tk
   POE::Wheel::Curses

Any code that depends on POE will not install these modules in the  
near future.

We will be releasing these modules in their own distributions,  
possibly as early as POE 1.005.  We will not retrograde their version  
numbers.

To ensure dependency continuity in your own code, please depend on  
these modules directly as soon as possible.  Your code should then  
pick up the right distributions automatically once they're released.

Why we're doing this:

The modules will gain test coverage.  As separate releases, they can  
register their dependencies with the CPAN.  The CPAN testers will  
recognize this and test the modules properly.

The core POE distribution divests itself of some "bloat".  Code that  
people rarely use will still be available separately.  Everyone else  
may skip downloading, installing and possibly testing it.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
