Re^6: Make select apply to modules as well

I've done plenty of debugging bro, but I'm a C/C++/Java programmer and a realtively new Perl one. Therefore, my first intent was to just figure out whether select should have the effect I wanted it to have. Secondly, I didn't want to waste my time debugging the problem if I found out later that that is the expected behavior of select.

Anyways, as it turns out it is some strangeness as I explained above in another post. Perhaps something to do with modifying $^I.

Thanks for your help, have a beer. Cheers!

The debugging strategy that I outlined applies no matter what language you're working in or how much experience you have at debugging. If you'd followed that advice in the first place (check documentation, write test programs to check behaviour, only then come up with a solid theory), then you would have been able to figure out your problem without even having to ask the question here. Not only would that have saved you time, but you'd have saved other people time as well.	[reply]
