Re^3: parallel process on remote machines,read results and hanle timeout of those process

EAGAIN means that whilst there is something available on the socket, hence select has given you it, that at the exact moment you tried to read it, something in the system or tcp stack was busy, and rather than block, it returns EAGAIN and lets you do something else in the mean time before trying again.

I agree with you that the retry logic in your code snippet is borked. It will only attempt one retry and will never do the usleep. What you choose to do about that is up to you. Personally, I think I'd probably omit the retry logic completely and just do the microsleep and loop back to the select; but you should probably consult someone with more *nix experience than me if that is your platform.

Thanks for your patient. It is really nice of the perl expets here to answer questions. Yah, my platform is Linux. Some questions about nfreeze/ Storable Here is a perl code to bring back the results to the main program. `my $results_serialized = nfreeze \%testresults; print $serialized;` [download] 1. What is the advantage of persistent data structure? all data in the same block of memory,fast speed? It is suitable for what kind of needs? 2. If not use nfreeze, I mean, just use `return \%testresults` [download] It is also working?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

1. What is the advantage of persistent data structure? all data in the same block of memory,fast speed? It is suitable for what kind of needs? 2. If not use nfreeze, I mean, just use It is quite hard to answer those questions without seeing their actual use in context. On the face of it, it doesn't make a lot of sense to freeze a hash in order to return it from a subroutine. The only possible (tentative) clue I can glean from the snippet you've posted comes from the name `%testresults`. It is possible that the code goes on to compare those results with a pre-frozen, known good results hash; in which case the author might be relying upon doing a binary compare of the frozen hashes rather than having to do a looping, possibly recursive traversal to compare them. If so, it might be cleverly efficient; or just obscurely dangerous.

Hello BrowserUK, I ask another question about sysread/non-blocking filehandle, but I have not find the right answer yet. `http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=1106019` [download] If you have time, could you have a look of my code in the thread above? Thanks!	[reply] [d/l]
