I have not played with this problem, so I don't know what
is out there. However given the kinds of problems that
you want to solve, I would suggest taking a close look
at POE and its documentation.
Not because it solves the problem you want (it doesn't),
but because the entire "state machine" philosophy it
uses is (at a guess) going to be a good fit for your
problem and is similar to the direction you are heading.
Therefore seeing a mature implementation of those ideas
in another context is likely to shorten the path between
you and some key design ideas you will find helpful.
Remember that the most interesting innovations tend to
happen when someone finds a way of taking person A's
well-developed theories and apply them to person B's
problem...

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).
