in thread working with 2 inputs

Yes thanks for that. Unfortunately the servers this will run on are all missing threads.pm So that won't be a solution I can use because updating the servers, which I am not in charge of, is not really an option. 
print "read_set is now: $read_set \n";
$read_set->add(fw1);
print "read_set is now: $read_set \n";
$read_set->add(fw2);
print "read_set is now: $read_set \n";

this results in: read_set is now: IO::Select=ARRAY(0x1acf0e4) read_set is now: IO::Select=ARRAY(0x1acf0e4) read_set is now: IO::Select=ARRAY(0x1acf0e4) Is this what's expected after $read_set->add(FH)?

    You build your own win32 Perl?

    this results in: read_set is now: IO::Select=ARRAY(0x1acf0e4)...

    As salva pointed out above, IO::Select doesn't work with pipes on Win32. Follow the link he provided for some alternatives.
