Hello All, I have the below code that accepts connections from web browsers fine. But, with a telnet net connection it hangs till I hit a key stroke, then it begins to print the hello out forever which is perfect.

What I would like to know is how can I get it to not wait for the keystroke from a telnet connections, but to begin printing right away.

Please help I am lost and need to figure this out today!!




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

$server_port=2000;
$timeout=0;
$|=0;

$server = IO::Socket::INET->new(
  LocalPort => $server_port,
  Type      => SOCK_STREAM,
  Reuse     => 1,
  Listen    => 10,
) or die "Couldn't be a tcp server on port $server_port : $@\n";

$select=IO::Select->new($server);

while(1){
  foreach my $client ($select->can_read($timeout)){
    if($client == $server){
      $client=$server->accept();
      $client->autoflush(0);
      $select->add($client);  
    }
    else{
      $wBuffer="hello";    
      $ew=syswrite($client,$wBuffer);
      print "Ew = $ew\n"; 
      #$select->remove($client);
    }
  }  
}
