From man IO::Select:

Here is a short example which shows how `IO::Select' could be used to write a server which communicates with several sockets while also listening for more connections on a listen socket

           use IO::Select;
           use IO::Socket;

           $lsn = new IO::Socket::INET(Listen => 1, LocalPort => 8080)
+;
           $sel = new IO::Select( $lsn );

           while(@ready = $sel->can_read) {
               foreach $fh (@ready) {
                   if($fh == $lsn) {
                       # Create a new socket
                       $new = $lsn->accept;
                       $sel->add($new);
                   }
                   else {
                       # Process socket

                       # Maybe we have finished with the socket
                       $sel->remove($fh);
                       $fh->close;
                   }
               }
           }
