Re: Modules depending on different event loops in the same POE app?

The problem is that Tk's event loop and Event's event loop are mutually exclusive.  POE can use Event, via POE::Loop::Event, just as easily as it can use Tk's via POE::Loop::Tk.

POE::Component::Generic "hangs" in a separate process, so the main POE::Loop::Tk will continue on.
