I copied some code from another Perlmonks article and pasted it into my script. In emacs in CPerl mode, the syntax highlighting goes insane midway through the line marked "WHAT IS HAPPENING...?" I've played with parens, retyped it manually, etc. to no avail. I can't see the problem! 
    while (1) {
        $! = undef;               # no error, yet
        if ($select->can_read(10)) {
            $rc = sysread($sock, $buffer, 64*1024, length($buffer));
            next if $rc;            # continue if not error and not "e
+of"
            last if defined($rc);   # exit if "eof"
        }
        else {
            $rc = ( $! ? undef : 1 );   # WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?????
            last if $rc;
        }
                                                                      
+                                                                     
+                                                                    
        redo if $! == EAGAIN ;     # Not really expected, even with no
+n-blocking
        redo if $! == EINTR ;      # Signals !
                                                                      
+                                                                     
+                                                                     
+        
        last ;                     # exit on "hard" error
    }

Well, gosh. Those long lines aren't REALLY there. I just can't seem to make them go away in this browser edit window. Maybe something with Chrome?
