Re: Design decision, call backs and network data

The question is a bit vague, but sounds like sort of difficulty to deal with multiple network connections. IO::Select is almost the easiest way to deal with connections with multiple sources. Take a look at the documentation, play with it, and you may come back with more specific questions.

I'm not really sure how you got that impression, as theres only one network connection. On this network connection the server sends me events and such like that happen on the server. It also sends me responses to specific commands. My problem is that when I send a command to the server, I want to do something with the response, but I don't know when the response will be sent back, as the server might send back some events before the response. The place I send the request however, is in a call back for a specific packet type, so it can't handle other event packets. My question, is how do I deal with the event packets being sent back before my request response? Ignoring them isn't an option really.	[reply]
