I've read a bunch documentation, I've seen it all, but for some reason its just not clicking, and its starting to get annoying.. I'm going to try to write that program I described in my post cuz it may help. See, I just wanted an example in perl along those lines since it'd be the most basic stripped down version I can think of. who knows, it might also help someone else who's sitting there looking at $rin and $win and fileno($socket), 0, and 1, just click. everyonce in a while there's something that no matter how many times you've read documentation, you just don't get it until someone explains it in just that right way. sorry for wasting your time. -brad..

I voted down this post because you (however unintentionally) insulted the original poster and made him feel that he'd wasted our time in asking it. In addition, your post is confusing, and advocates an experimental feature that probably won't exist as is in the next version of Perl, besides being unstable and definitely not recommended. I'm not sure what the POSIX module has to do with the supplicant's request, and your post is hard to read. Adding some paragraph tags would help that. The only real reason for my -- is the first. I don't think any honest question (especially a good, detailed one like above) deserves to be called a waste of database space. Unintentional, probably, but it's not the sort of phrasing I want to see continue in the monastery. I hope this explanation is of benefit to you.	[reply]

I have said this before, but I think you missed it. Please do not clutter our Monastery with trash. We don't need it, and we don't want it. Not from you, not from Randal, not from anyone. Please, do not fill your posts with negative commentary. Either you have useful advice or a kind word of caution. You know other places with the answer? Great! Please kindly suggest that a person read them. Do not insult people, they rarely deserve it. ... Super Monk to the Rescue ... SuperMonk says, "Only you can prevent flame wars!"	[reply]
