Re^6: IPC via named pipes, losing some messages

Ah, I see. Thanks for you time ikegami. The new code works like a charm. Not only does it improve on mine in readability, it appears to be a whole lot more efficient. The load on the machine has gone down! John

Interesting. Your version only processed data when there's a lull in reading. If the data comes in fast enough, it could be the `select`s become expensive no-ops and `$data .= $buf;` builds up to something huge. In my version, I process data as soon as it comes in.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
