Re^2: Complete mess with IO::Socket in ActivePerl 5.8.8.817

UDP sockets don't block.

It actually seems that they don't nonblock in Win32, don't they? :) Thank you for the time and effort traveler.

Don't fool yourself.

You are right. The default behavior in Windows is to block. However, it appears that this is not really a block for 16-bit apps as the message loop stays running, so the code can be re-entered somewhere else. However 32-bit apps hang the UI... Pretty interesting.	[reply]
