As I understand it, (i.e. I'm not positive), calling IO::Select on a list of handles returns a list of waiting filehandles ( in this case sockets ), and in your case as you are not writing out, the only waiting handles will be readable handles, zero one or many.

In the loop, you can then iterate over any readable handles that have been assigned to @read by calling IO::Select, doing with as you wish. As you're using UDP, you don't need to worry about the connection unduly, nor have to close or give a response as the client doesn't wait for anything so you can just discard the client request as you don't want to sleep.

In the code below, the udp socket is added to the list of known waiting input readers,
IO::Select can accept many handles, the server enters an infinite loop, reading any waiting handles in and clearing the queue. It is important to get the non-blocking stuff in so that the server will skip over any hung items, though whether this non-blocking stuff actually works for UDP,( this was munged from a UDP/TCP combined server) and the IO::Select->select ( x,x,x, 1) enforces a 1 second sleep I think.

HTH, I only posted briefly yesterday 'cos I was in a rush, but hope this is clearer..

use POSIX; use IO::Socket; use IO::Select; my $udp = new IO::Socket::INET(LocalAddr => $interface,'LocalPort' +=> $port, 'Proto' => 'udp') or die $!; my $sockin = new IO::Select; my $sockout = new IO::Select; my $sockerr = new IO::Select; $sockin->add($udp); my ($read, $write, $err) = ([],[],[]); while(1) { ($read, $write, $err) = IO::Select->select($sockin, $sockout, $soc +kerr, 1); for my $sock (@$read) { my $data; $sock->recv($data, 1024 * 64, 0); next if $! == EAGAIN() || $! == EWOULDBLOCK(); #---- $! is po +pulated by IO::Socket # client request in $data ---- process as you want } for my $sock (@$write) { # not important } for my $sock (@$err) { # clean up any errors } }

  • 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:

  • 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).
