in thread Does IO::Select work? Anywhere?

Even though you denigrated the earlier good professor's code of sysreading 1 byte at a time, in Re^4: Does IO::Select work? Anywhere? maybe therin lies your answer?

No, It doesn't. Plug that into your server and replace the call to perl's readline with a call to that -- and exactly the same thing will happen. Which is why I denigrated it.

If you're happy with not understanding why glib works, that's your call.
