Hi,
I've used IO::Select package and can_read to do polling in my socket. Here is my question,
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";
$data =~ s/\n$//;
}
}
}
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.
So, what is the better way to use can_read for multi line messages??

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).
