Re: How to get rid of the delay after the real work is done?

You can shut down POE::Component::Client::HTTP by posting a "shutdown"  
event to it, generally by its alias.

Interesting.  It could be that the program is exiting before  
connections are released by POE::Component::Client::Keepalive (used by  
the HTTP client), and global destruction is causing things to be freed  
out of order.  I wonder why I hadn't seen that when I wrote it...
