I am apparently in way over my head...

I'm trying to just make a separate function for OSen without non-blocking sockets.

In my cool version, I'm doing this:

    my $msg  = "";
    while( my $portaddr = recv($this->{in}, $msg, 1024, 0) ) {
        my ($portno, $ipaddr) = sockaddr_in($portaddr);
        my $ip = inet_ntoa($ipaddr);

        push @msgs, [$ip, $this->_transform($msg)];
    }

It's intercepting UDP broadcasts, which I'm also new to, and I'm not sure where to get the ipaddr of the source using the vec/select while loop -- which is fascinating btw.
