This code runs rock solid for me on Linux, it's about as simple an IO::Select example that you can get.

Thank you. But ... :)

It is pretty much the same -- ie. just as incomplete -- as every other sample I can find.
Whether those kicking around the internet, or in the Perl POD or even those in Chapter 12 of Advanced Perl Programming.
They only deal with reading. Not replying; not handling exceptions, ...
It (apparently) breaks all the rules of select loop processing ...
By using blocking IO; and buffered IO primitives; assumes accept will actually return a client; doesn't handle signals; ...

If there is a complete, correct example out there, I'm damned if I can find it.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
