 POE::Session->create (
     inline_states => { _start => \&test_start,
                        _stop  => \&test_stop,
     },
     heap => { Obj  => $pocosi },
 );

 $poe_kernel->run();

 sub test_start {
     my ($kernel, $heap) = @_[KERNEL, HEAP];

     $kernel->post ( 'ircd' => 'register' );
     $kernel->post ( 'ircd' => 'add_i_line' => { IPMask => '*', Port => 6667 } );
     $kernel->post ( 'ircd' => 'add_operator' => { UserName => 'Flibble', Password => 'letmein' } );
     $kernel->post ( 'ircd' => 'add_listener' => { Port => 6667 } );
