Re^3: Stumped with select->can_read (buffered)

[zentara]

It's best to use sysread, but you will have to figure out a way to detect line endings. Maybe after concating the sysread data into a temp buffer then pull off lines with a regex or split. Read perldoc -f sysread. It will read as much as it can in a non-blocking manner. This will try to read in 1024 byte chunks, but will read less if that is all that is there.

while(@ready = $sel->can_read)
{
  foreach my $fh(@ready)
  {
    my $line = "";
    my $buf = "";

#    while(read($fh, $buf, 1024))
 while( my $bytes_read = sysread( $fh, $buf, 1024 ) > 0 )  ) {
      print "$bytes_read\n";
   {
      $line .= $buf;
    }
  }
}
