Won't that put it outside of the loop (so it's only executed once)?

    Blimey yes. Ugh. OK, make it the conditional then: 
    for (;$BASKET and (my @socks = $BASKET -> can_read(2)) or 1); ) {  
  ...  
}

    and now it's nearly like the original non-for code.

    Probably simpler just to use the while. {grin}
