## NAME
    [POE::Pipe](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/POE%3A%3APipe/markdown) - Deprecated and replaced with delegates to [IO::Pipely](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/IO%3A%3APipely/markdown).

## SYNOPSIS
    See [IO::Pipely](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/IO%3A%3APipely/markdown).

## DESCRIPTION
    On June 29, 2012, [POE::Pipe](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/POE%3A%3APipe/markdown) and its subclasses, [POE::Pipe::OneWay](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/POE%3A%3APipe%3A%3AOneWay/markdown) and [POE::Pipe::TwoWay](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/POE%3A%3APipe%3A%3ATwoWay/markdown) were
    released to CPAN as [IO::Pipely](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/IO%3A%3APipely/markdown). The [POE::Pipe](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/POE%3A%3APipe/markdown) family of modules remained unchanged in POE's
    distribution.

    On August 18, 2013, [POE::Pipe](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/POE%3A%3APipe/markdown) and its subclasses were gutted. Their implementations were
    replaced with delegates to [IO::Pipely](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/IO%3A%3APipely/markdown). All tests pass, although the delegates add slight
    overhead. The documentation was replaced by this deprecation schedule.

    A mandatory deprecation warning is scheduled to be released after September 2014. POE will begin
    using [IO::Pipely](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/IO%3A%3APipely/markdown) directly. This documentation will be updated to schedule the next deprecation
    step.

    The mandatory warning will become a mandatory error a year or so later. Ideally this will occur
    in August 2015, but it may be delayed due to POE's release schedule. This documentation will be
    updated to schedule the final deprecation step.

    Finally, in August 2016 or later, [POE::Pipe](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/POE%3A%3APipe/markdown) and its subclasses will be removed from POE's
    distribution altogether. Users will have had at least four years to update their code. That
    seems fair.
