When building network applications, it is often helpful to have a network accessible control and diagnostic interface. This module provides such an interface for POE applications. By default, it provides a fairly limited set of commands but is easily extended to provide whatever command set you require. In addition, if POE::Component::DebugShell version 1.018 or above is installed, a set of POE debug commands will be loaded.
