I am attempting to create a perl server to listen on a Unix socket. I am creating the socket by: 
$client->{socket} = IO::Socket::UNIX->new(Type => SOCK_STREAM, Listen 
+=> 5, Local => $filename);
chmod 777, $filename;

I then add it to my IO::Select by: 
$sel->add($client->{socket});

[download]
and attempt to wait for a connection by: 
while($sel->can_read) {
...
}

[download]
1. %client is just a hash 2. The file pointed to by $filename does not exist before the call to IO::Socket::UNIX->new and does exist after, so it is getting created 3. The directory where I am creating the file has been chmod'd 777 to ensure this is not a permissions issue. Whenver I reach the while clause, the program immediately ends. If I use the Komodo debugger to step through the code, it ends in IO::Select at the line: 
defined ($r) && (select($r, undef, undef, $timeout) > 0)) ? handles(&v
+ec, $r) : ();

handles is not being called and it's not returning the empty array, it's simply ending the program. I've tried catching an exception with a try/catch block, but got nothing. Any idea what's going on here?
