12 POE components are event-driven modules, many of which act as little
13 daemons that supply services to the programs they're parts of. In gen‐
14 eral, they talk with other sessions by receiving and posting events,
15 but this is not a formal convention. A component's interface design
16 should prefer to make sense; for example, an SMTP client should have a
17 method to just "send a message" rather than (or in addition to) several
18 others that deal with the intricacies of the SMTP protocol.
19
20 The POE::Component namespace was started as place for contributors to
21 publish their POE-based modules without requiring coordination with the
22 main POE distribution.
23
25 The SEE ALSO section in POE contains a table of contents covering the
26 entire POE distribution.

29 Document the customary (but not mandatory!) process of creating and
30 publishing a component.

33 Each component is written and copyrighted by its author.
