in reply to non-blocking select with IO::Select

c-era: I kiss you. The remove() sorted it.

tye and c-era: How does getlines() work in a socket context? It will split the data on $/, right, like angle brackets... but how does it know when the socket has "finished"? Or doesn't it?

anybody: still wondering if I am doing the right thing. What will happen if I replace print "yo"; with something longer and more complicated? Will the IO::Socket listener start rejecting people? Or does it queue them up?

    The getlines() work just like it does on files. When the socket has finished an EOF is sent, just like when working with files.

    IO::Socket has a parameter called Listen. This controls the number of connections that can be waiting for an accept. I.E. if you have Listen => 10, if 11 people connect to your server while it is busy, 10 people will be waiting, and 1 person will get a server busy error.

    I hope this answers your questions.
