My module that implements the select loop of the Korn and Bash shells has been released! It's called Shell::POSIX::Select, and it's available from your friendly
neighborhood CPAN mirror now. You can also check out
the documentation at my web site.
Here's one of the examples shown in the documentation:
use Shell::POSIX::Select ;
# Extract man-page names from TOC portion of output of "perldoc perl"
select $manpage ( sort ( `perldoc perl` =~/^\s+(perl\w+)\s/mg) ) {
system "perldoc '$manpage'" ;
}
