Poe::component::ikc provides several inter-kernel communication (ikc) methods for the perl object environment (poe) that help exchange events and related data between poe kernels.

this module allows bidirectional communication between two or more instances of poe allowing authors to push or retrieve state information from remote running kernels using tcp/ip networking. it also provides facilities to monitor external instances and fire events when a new client connects or disconnects.

the included server implementation can handle multiple concurrent connections and is designed to take advantage of pre-forking for high-demand applications. it is easily integrable with non-blocking code because it executes the given callback code when an event happens.
