Here's something I've started throwing together.. might as well post it here to get the feedback from it and get it all corrected for my use and for your use.(question marks mean I'm unsure on these)
UPDATED!!
Function Read/Write? Blocking? Buffering?
send WRITE Yes Yes
recv READ Yes Yes
print WRITE Yes Yes
read READ Yes Yes
syswrite WRITE Yes No
sysread READ Yes No
<FILEHANDLE> READ Yes Yes


I think that blocking also depends on the flags set on the file handle.. like I said, this is probly all wrong, but it would be nice for someone to correct me and it could prove useful for perl programmers met with the frustration I've experienced trying to understand socket/file I/O ;)
