I've got a POE::Component::IRC bot with some loops that cause it to pause. This is a POE FAQ which I've read many times along with the other docs and tried to implement to no avail. These subs handle private IRC messages, and "do_help" is where the program pauses. I appreciate any assistance you can offer in using yield to handle simultaneous requests.

# HANDLES PRIVATE MSG
sub irc_msg
{
my $kernel = $_[KERNEL];
my $nick   = (split /!/, $_[ARG0])[0];
my $msg    = $_[ARG2];

my $say = process_msg($kernel, $nick, $msg);

if ($say) {
    $kernel->post($bot, 'privmsg', $nick, $say);
    }
}

# PROCESSES PRIVATE MSG
sub process_msg
{
my ($kernel,$nick,$arg) = @_;

if ($arg =~ /^help/) {
    do_help($kernel,$nick)
    }
}

# PRINTS BOT HELP
sub do_help
{
my ($kernel,$nick) = @_;

my @help = (
    "This array has many lines..",
);

for (@help) { # BOT PAUSES TO COMPLETE THIS LOOP
    $kernel->post($bot, 'privmsg', $nick, $_);
    }
}
