There's POE::Component::IKC.  It's not CORBA, but it does  provide a
publish/subscribe model for POE.

Hmmmmm...  CORBA?  While I like portions of CORBA and OMF, the  IDL-GDMO end 
of things makes CORBA a beast to say the least.
In all actuality, wouldn't an IRC Server function effectively as a publish  
and subscribe model?  Yet this is much simpler and much more flexible when  you 
think about it.
Using SOAP Services is another way to do P-S especially if you work the  
WSDL/XML side of things. 
I'm still interested to see if POE could be ORBed...  Or maybe, CORBA  could 
be POEized!
Dougie!!!
