lol. That's quite true.

Yes well I was tired. I also have to fix the rTime(), but that's not an issue (even though nobody pointed it out yet ; strangely).

My new code doesn't make things more complex, seems logical to me at least.

while(1) {
        my @priority_array;
        ($rready,$wready) = IO::Select->select($sel, $sel, undef);
        if(@$rready&&!@$wready) {
            # Let's process the read ready socket array.
            # As there are no writables yet
            @priority_array=@$rready;
        }elsif(@$rready&&@$wready) {
            # Let's process the read ready socket #
            # array before the write array 
            # as a new socket/client has arrived
            @priority_array=@$rready;
        }else{
            # Let's process the write ready socket array 
            # this time. As no readables are ready
            @priority_array=@$wready;
        }
        foreach my $socket (@priority_array) { 
            if($socket == $lsn) {
                new_socket($socket);
            }else{
                # Let's actually generate those chars to
                # the client/socket 
                # that is write ready
                gen_chars($socket);
            }
        }
    }

You see, I have decided that I would like to process a socket array of priority, instead of checking any read-ready socket array,
then immediately after that, check/process any write-ready socket array's no matter what the situation at that given time, IE:
while(1) {
        ($rready,$wready) = IO::Select->select($sel, $sel, undef);
        foreach my $rsocket (@$rready) { 
            if($rsocket == $lsn) {
                new_socket($rsocket);
            }else{
                # whatever
            }
        }
        foreach my $wsocket (@$wready) { 
            gen_chars($wsocket);
        }
    }

With the above. The else block within the @$ready processing loop seems to only get executed
after the 'TCP Handshake' occurs AND the client actually sends data.
