I have a script that opens several UDP sockets and reads the broadcasts. The update rates are horrendously high and unfortunately it would appear that when the rates exceed a certain level the script fails. The script looks like it is continually rereading the same block. Any thoughts?

To give an idea what the script does:

$socks[0] = IO::Socket::INET->new(LocalAddr => "10.153.22.0", 
  LocalPort => 0x8320, Broadcast => 1, Proto => 'udp' )
  or die "Can't bind\n";
$socks[1] = IO::Socket::INET->new(LocalAddr => "10.153.22.0",
  LocalPort => 0x8321, Broadcast => 1, Proto => 'udp' )
  or die "Can't bind\n";

foreach $socket (@socks) {
  $socketSet->add($socket);
}

while ( @ready = $socketSet->can_read ) {
  foreach $fh ( @ready ) {
    $fh->recv($buf,1500);     # I've tried a sysread as well
 
    # do something with it;
    print "$buf\n";
  }
}
