Try this instead, in case the select method returns a reference to an array:

my $rhSet = IO::Select->select($readSet, undef, undef, 0);
foreach $rh(@$rhSet)
{

You should also read the perldoc for IO::Select, there is a short example at the end.

perldoc IO::Select

EXAMPLE
     Here is a short example which shows how "IO::Select" could
     be used to write a server which communicates with several
     sockets while also listening for more connections on a
     listen socket

         use IO::Select;
         use IO::Socket;

         $lsn = new IO::Socket::INET(Listen => 1, LocalPort => 8080);
         $sel = new IO::Select( $lsn );
         while(@ready = $sel->can_read) {
             foreach $fh (@ready) {
                 if($fh == $lsn) {
                     # Create a new socket
                     $new = $lsn->accept;
                     $sel->add($new);
                 }
                 else {
                     # Process socket

                     # Maybe we have finished with the socket
                     $sel->remove($fh);
                     $fh->close;
                 }
             }
         }

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.
