# This is a little test program to see if we could implement
# http://candygram.sourceforge.net/node6.html on MooseX::POE
# using MX::Poe objects (aka POE::Sessions) to replace threads

# Here is the relevant code from Canygram
#
#
# >>> import candygram as cg
# >>> import time
# >>> def proc_func():
# ...     r = cg.Receiver()
# ...     r.addHandler('land shark', shut_door, cg.Message)
# ...     r.addHandler('candygram', open_door, cg.Message)
# ...     for message in r:
# ...         print message
# ...
# >>> def shut_door(name):
# ...     return 'Go Away ' + name
# ...
# >>> def open_door(name):
# ...     return 'Hello ' + name
# ...
# >>> proc = cg.spawn(proc_func)
# >>> proc.send('land shark')
# >>> proc.send('candygram')
# >>> # Give the proc a chance to print its messages before termination:
# ... time.sleep(1)

#
# here is our version
#
