Hi!

I've never used the fileevent() so i may be wrong, but as for me 'readable' or 'writable' means, that the file is accessible in such mode - it doesn't mean that there is some data to read.
I found this problem using IO::Select's can_read() function. It returns all the file handles that are 'readable', but you still won't know which of them has an input waiting... Maybe it would work better for me if i used flock() on those files between data reads? Never mind - i've got a work-around ;-)
