Re^2: solution for fileevent on Win32 ???

thanks for your promptly responses.
I did try to use the timer event but I don't see which method you can use to send data through the socket at the sender part.

When you call the can_read method, can you get the event data or just the boolean value saying if there is any available data at the socket?

A socket is just a file handle, so you can use `syswrite` or `print`. `can_read` (from IO::Select) only returns true or false. It is telling you that you will not block if you try to read from the file handle. You have to call `read` or `sysread` to get the data.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
