Nope.

The first buffered read <$h> grabs all five of the first sent lines, and leaves the handle empty, thus the delay for the second read. It's not until the 6th line comes in that the program can get to the second read.

The usual advice is to not mix buffered and un-buffered I/O, and this code is the perfect example of why. IO::Select operates on unbuffered data while readline is buffered.
That's why I used sysread (which is unbuffered) rather than readline.

NOTE: Using sysread may get you more than one line at a time (or even partial lines) which is why I added the loop that extracts and deletes one while line at a time.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
