( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I use IO::Socket for making a connection to TCP server. I want that connection to be non-blocking and I try to use IO::Select for that purpose. However, I have only one socket, and I use mainly the can_read() method, so if nothing comes from the socket, the conn will be non-blocking, untill something come. Here is the way I do:
my $sock = ... my $sel = IO::Select->new(); $sel->add($sock); while (1){ if ($sel->can_read(0.5)){ $line = <$socket>; print $line; } else { print "."; } } #end of while 1
In that way I thing that if nothing comes, I should get a row of dots printed. If something comes it should get printed instead of a dot.
Whatever.. nothing happens. Any ideas?

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).
