Re: TCP keepalive?

never mind, this was easy to enable globally by modifying  
SocketFactory.pm @ line 706:

   setsockopt($socket_handle, SOL_SOCKET, SO_KEEPALIVE, 1) or do {
     $poe_kernel->yield(
       $event_failure,
       'setsockopt', $!+0, $!, $self->[MY_UNIQUE_ID]
     );
     return $self;
   };

Although I think POE should expose the option to users of  
Client::TCP... do you want a patch for this?
