Hello!

my first post :) The challange I have is getting recv (in IO::Socket) to not hang.

I send a query (a SELECT) to mysql (5.0.22) through the NET::MySql module and it hangs where the table is empty. Specifically it hangs on the 2nd call to recv on the line

${*$sock}{'io_socket_peername'} = recv($sock, $_[1]='', $len, $flags);

I can't get the debuger to step into this line, it just hangs. I've tried different timeouts and specifying non-blocking. With a non-blocking socket, whatever the timeout, server authentication always fails immediately, claiming a timeout. (I've checked the socket timeout value in debuging mode and it is as I set it) With blocking, the call to recv always hangs on the 2nd call for a select from an empty table. The result of the 1st call to recv seems reasonable, looking pretty similar to what is returned on the 1st call for a query on a non-empty table, so I don't know what is causing the problem and it's driving me up the wall and I really need to fix it :)

I'd be very grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction to solving this!
