Hi,
<p> I've used IO::Select package and can_read to do polling in my socket. Here is my question,</p>
<code>
while(1) {
my ( @read_sockets ) = $SELECT->can_read(5);
if ( @read_sockets ) {
foreach my $fh ( @read_sockets ) {
my $data = <$fh>;
print "Got data from server, $data";
$data =~ s/\n$//;
}
}
}
</code>
<p>When server sends me multiple line messages. can_read returns the socket handle and I read the first line of it(as per the above code). I thought if I do can_read again, I'll get the socket handle returned as some data is not yet read. But, can_read is blocking and not returning the socket handle.</p>
<p>
So, what is the better way to use can_read for multi line messages??</p>
