You can use the session id of the first session to look it up, and then call its get_heap() method. I'm not sure this is "the" preferred way, the following code works fine to access the heap of first session from within an event handler of the second:

use strict;
use POE;
use POE::Wheel::SocketFactory;

my $session1 = POE::Session->create(
    inline_states => {
                      _start => \&start1,
    }
);

my $session1_id = $session1->ID();

POE::Session->create(
    inline_states => {
                      _start => \&start2,
                      access_session1 => \&access,
    },
);


POE::Kernel->run();

sub start1 {
    # start something so the session doesn't go away.
    $_[HEAP]->{factory} = POE::Wheel::SocketFactory->new(
        BindPort        => '88888',
        SocketProtocol  => 'tcp',
        Reuse           => 'on',
        SuccessEvent    => 'event_factory_success',
        FailureEvent    => 'event_fatal_error',

    );

    $_[HEAP]->{"test"} = {'a'=>1,'b'=>2};
    
}

sub start2 {  
    #fire an event
    $_[KERNEL]->yield("access_session1");
}

sub access {
    my $sess =  $_[KERNEL]->alias_resolve($session1_id);
    my $data = $sess->get_heap()->{"test"};
    foreach my $k (keys %$data){
        print "$k, $data->{$k}\n";
    }
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
