in thread Does IO::Select work? Anywhere?

Doesn’t work for me.  :-(

I copied-and-pasted the code into a file named “344_SoPW.pl” and ran it with the following results:

19:46 >perl -c 344_SoPW.pl
344_SoPW.pl syntax OK

19:46 >perl 344_SoPW.pl
syntax error at -e line 1, at EOF
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

    :) Really, you don't have /dev/null on windows? Use File::Spec->devnull

    naturally fixing those portability issues , select loop is forever 

    use File::Spec();

sub launch {
   my ($id) = @_;
   open(local *TO_CHILD, '<', File::Spec->devnull ) or die $!;
   *TO_CHILD if 0;
   my $pid = open3(
      '<&TO_CHILD',
      my $from_child = gensym(),
      '>&STDERR',
#~       perl => ( -e => 'use Time::HiRes qw( sleep ); $|=1; for (1..r
+and(10)+5) { sleep(0.100 + rand(100)/1000); print "a" }' ),

      $^X => ( -e => 'use Time::HiRes qw( sleep ); $|=1; for (1..rand(
+10)+5) { sleep(0.100 + rand(100)/1000); print q{a} }' ),
   );
   return { id => $id, pid => $pid, pipe => $from_child, buf => '' };
}

    Doesn’t work for me. ... Windows ...

    It won't. Pipe handles aren't selectable under windows -- which makes it a pretty useless demo for anyone who uses windows.

    With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
    Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
    "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
    In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
