Re: How do I get my IO::Socket::UNIX sockets to be non-blocking?

Out of curiosity, what happens if you address blocking like this?

$s->blocking(0) or die $!;

I suppose it's possible that setting blocking off is failing, and this will let you know. It might not solve the issue, but at least you may discover where to dig.

The blocking interface returns the current value so the or die would not be appropriate.	[reply]

Are you sure? You may be right, but that's not what the documents say. The `blocking()` method is inherited from IO::Handle, from what I can tell, and the documentation for IO::Handle says the following: `$io->blocking ( [ BOOL ] )` If called with an argument blocking will turn on non-blocking IO if BOOL is false, and turn it off if BOOL is true. `blocking` will return the value of the previous setting, or the current setting if BOOL is not given. If an error occurs blocking will return undef and $! will be set. ...which should make it a good candidate for "`or die $!;`" syntax. Dave	[reply] [d/l] [select]

That's really confused. How do you determine the difference between success and failure with `$rv = $io->block(); ## Find out the current setting if( !$rv ) { ## Is non-blocking enabled or did the call fail? } $rv = $io->blocking( 1 ); ## Turn on blocking (turn off non-blocking) if( !$rv ) { ## Was non-blocking previously enabled or did the call fail? } $rv = $io->blocking( 0 ); ## Turn off blocking if( !$rv ) { ## Did we succeed or did the call fail? }` [download] What would `or die $!` be telling you?
