( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I am trying to create a script that will route data to/from stdin/out and a socket, without using fork() (Though there is preliminary support for fork() in the latest ActivePerl, I would rather avoid that route.)
I got select (IO::Select actually) to work great using two sockets, but select doesnt seem to like filehandles. So I tried this:
while ( sysread(STDIN, $buf, 1024) ) || ( @ready = $sel->can_read() )
but that just blocks on the sysread(STDIN...
I thought about using the timeout option, but I don't want the script to pause in either direction.
FYI:
The end purpose for this script is to establish a connection for ssh (as the ProxyCommand). I am adapting a script written by Simon Josefsson to work on Windows NT.
Thanks for any help,
Glenn Harris

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
