in reply to fcntl on Windows

have you looked at the can_read function of the IO::Socket class? it accepts a value in seconds to wait before timing out and proceeding with the rest of the script.
for example, this (untested) will wait 1 second and then move on.

my $sel = $sock->select;
$sel->can_read(1);

    I can't seem to find any such can_read function in IO::Socket. Do you know of any documentation on it?
