I am apparently in way over my head...
I'm trying to just make a separate function for OSen without non-blocking sockets.
In my cool version, I'm doing this:
my $msg = "";
while( my $portaddr = recv($this->{in}, $msg, 1024, 0) ) {
my ($portno, $ipaddr) = sockaddr_in($portaddr);
my $ip = inet_ntoa($ipaddr);
push @msgs, [$ip, $this->_transform($msg)];
}
It's intercepting UDP broadcasts, which I'm also new to, and I'm not sure where to get the ipaddr of the source using the vec/select while loop -- which is fascinating btw.
