in thread IO::Select - reading multiple lines

is it a very worse idea to use <$fh> to read from a socket

Yeah, you are best off using sysread, and there are a few ways to use sysread, depending on your situation, you can put it in various staement forms

 while( sysread $fh, $str, 8192, length $str ) {
#or
 do { $rc = sysread(FH, $buff, 5000000, length($buff)) ; } while ($rc
#or
if ( sysread( $cli, $buffer, 1024 ) ) {}
# etc etc

sysread returns 0, only when the other end exits. Getting into blocking mode, which is not desired. I expect the program to wait in select not in sysread.	[reply]

You might be interested in trying ioctl, see IPC3 buffer limit problem. You can google for ioctl on sockets and let your mind get boggled, and yearn for the simplicity of <>. :-) I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Old Perl Programmer Haiku ................... flash japh	[reply]
