Re: Saving application state

Hi, Celso.

This isn't a job for POE.

Use File::AtomicWrite, or something like it, to safely write the time =
stamp as frequently as necessary.  It's a trivial amount of data, so you =
probably don't need it written asynchronously.

Reload the time stamp when the program restarts.
