in my haste - forgot to add, you need to do this before the call to getcmd(). this is from the standard Fcntl package and the sets the file handle to non blocking by adding to the flags, you can reset the flag afterwards.
fcntl(STDIN, F_GETFL, $flg) or
die("Couldn't get flags for HANDLE : $!\n");
fcntl(STDIN, F_SETFL, ($flg | O_NONBLOCK))
or die("Couldn't set flags for HANDLE: $!\n");

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).
