In case anyone reads this these days, setting "Blocking => 0" works in Win32 now. I found this out after reading complaints that it doesn't and not even trying it myself. It works for me. Here's some sample code of what I'm doing with it:
use IO::Socket::INET;
my $server = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr => '127.0.0.1',
PeerPort => 12345,
Proto => 'tcp',
Blocking => 0);
my $buf;
while (sysread($server, $buf, 1024))
{
$servdata .= $buf;
print STDERR qq(READ.\n);
}
print STDERR qq(END READING FROM SERVER...\n);
I'm doing more with it, of course, but that's the key parts. I hope it works for everyone else out there. I'm curious to hear if it doesn't.
BTW, I'm using this in ActivePerl 5.10 and PerlTray 7.3.0

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).
