Frodo,

ahh! (&& uups, sorry)

I understand my mistake, I thought that can_reads returns the buffered lines, but it returns only the 'readable' handles - ok.
But now I'm thrown back to my old problem: 

   while (<HANDLE>) {..}

[download]
waits until a EOL is sent and then executs the the block {..}.
So what if I don't want to wait for that EOL, but what if I have to send what I have got exactly at the full minute?

So frankly spoken how can I (the kid of course) read from STDIN all what is there and return immediately if nothing is there anymore?

Thanks in advance,
Carl
