What vec() does is construct a bit vector, in this case related to the fileno of the client socket. Every filehandle on the OS has an actual file number. Consider:
So STDIN is fileno 0, etc. When you open a file or a socket a unique fileno that identifies it is stored by the OS in the file table. So what the first vec is doing is generating a bitmask in $bits1 that represents that. What 4 arg select does is return values for handles that can be READ, WRITTEN and HAVE ERRORS. It waits the specified time and then returns. It returns the data in a bitmap type format. We use vec again to see if the bit that corresponds to the filehandle we are interested in has been set in the returned value. (vec returns true if it is set, false if not). I don't know what you mean about how you get the ip address of the source - it is there in the code and being printed? cheers tachyon
