in reply to Re^3: IO::Select and sockets
in thread IO::Select and sockets
Any servers that handles mutliple connections must
- Wait to read incomming connections from the server socket.
- Wait to read incomming requests from each client socket from which a request hasn't been obtained.
- Wait to write reponses to each client socket from which a request has been obtained.
- Wait for errors.
All of these can occur at the same time, which is why can_* are insufficient, and select is desired on the server side.

- Wait to write requests to every server socket to which a request has not been sent.
- Wait to read incomming responses from each server socket to which a request has been sent.
