Re^4: Does IO::Select work? Solution (busy loop)

in reply to Re^3: Does IO::Select work? Solution
in thread Does IO::Select work? Anywhere?

Just change the time-out, probably from 0 to "infinity" (which is likely represented by -1).

[zentara]

Tye, I didn't think you cared about anything I wrote!. :-) I tried -1 for infinity, and still 100% cpu. But I had the audacity to undefine infinity and it does the right thing. CPU usage is minimal.

#Change:
#my ($new_readable) = IO::Select->select($readable_handles, undef, und
+ef, 0 );
# to
my ($new_readable) = IO::Select->select($readable_handles, undef, unde
+f, undef );

and the server in Re: Does IO::Select work? Solution is the Holy Grail after all. No sysctl.ph needed. :-) Minimum cpu usage.
