As always, there are two reasons I recommend modules:
- You can usually get the job done faster
- When you are curious about how it works, it's all open source! You can find out!

I totally agree with you, that's why I love perl so much, and I did take a look at the IO::Select module source,
however, it also uses the select and vec functions the same way I saw them used in the perl-chat example.
and while the module would save me time, and alot of grief, there are no deadlines and I'm a masochist :P so its all good..
what I'd really like to know, is not "how to deal with multiple connections" but, I guess some more examples or a new explanation
of the 4 arg select, and vec(). I might look at these two functions, and just go, "well hot damn, I could use that for ______", something using
IO::Select won't totally give me :P
Basically, I have the concept down, multiple file handles that you can read/write to, that are being "watched" and you form
them using the "vec()" function, but I can't translate that into code and vice versa for some reason.. I just need a different look at it I guess.
and once again, thanks for the great help, this site rules!
