Unfortunately, that 'state' field is bit encoded and can indicate blocking/non-blocking, and byte/message mode which doesn't help unless you can enable non-blocking mode and I don't think that module exposes that to Perl.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
