Bug #18441 for POE: POE::Kernel instance method ->running

Wed Mar 29 18:46:11 2006 adamk [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

POE::Kernel instance method ->running

Sometimes there is code where (while not timely) it should only really be called while the Kernel is actively running. It would be useful to have a ->running method to be able to tell if the Kernel is currently running. Note that this is NOT quite the same thing as the ::Peek method, which only answers "has the kernel ever run in the past".

Does it work to test whether $poe_kernel->get_active_session() != $poe_kernel? If I'm not mistaken, the only time your code will be called while the Kernel is running is during event handling. Then there's an active, non-Kernel session.
