Problem with MPD client but probably POE user error

Hello,

I am working with POE::Component::Client::MPD for the first time and 
attempting to get the example provided working.  I have modified it 
along the way but results have been the same (code is below).

The MPD (Music Player Daemon) logging shows the client connect and 
disconnect (when I control-c).  However, none of the events I send get 
to the daemon (also running on localhost with default port).  I added 
print statements at pretty much all the entry points for events within 
MPD.pm and none of them get hit.  Therefore maybe this is not a problem 
with MPD.pm but my usage of POE.

Also note that I can use the command line client that comes with MPD to 
interact with the daemon and that works as expected as well as it 
generates logging information.

Which direction should I go in to track it down?

Thanks,

John
