in reply to How do I read just one key at a time?
Yeah, I probably would use a CPAN module that already has
the nonblocking IO and select polling set up for you. But
it would be wise anyway to learn how to do nonblocking IO
and using select to do your polling. These are very
important things in unix and perl has basically the same
syntax for them as C. Remember not to confuse the different
types of "select"s in perl. W. Steven's Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment
is an essential book for anyone programming something on Unix.
