in reply to Sockets, autoflush, and TCP_NODELAY

You could look at the methods Danga::Socket uses to flush the socket connections. I think the ->cork method tries to make the socket send everything that is in the buffer.

    I don't know about Donga::Socket, but generally setting TCP_CORK has the opposite affect to that which the OP describes. It "corks" the socket, forcing it to accumulate and coalesce writes locally, until it is uncorked.
