Re: How does POE speed up operation in reality?

Incorrect.  A lot of the work of transferring a file is waiting for  
the data to arrive.  POE can wait for data to arrive in parallel  
without threading.

POE::Component::Client::FTP may or may not be programmed to allow  
this, but POE can do it.  It's a common misunderstanding to say "POE"  
when you mean "a module using POE".  POE's authors have little control  
over how it's used.
