Re: Socket: I don't get what is sent

in reply to Socket: I don't get what is sent

In your client, you should turn auto-flush on, by setting $| to a non-zero value. A snippet of how this would look like in your client code:
... # This message is print, so I do get here! # At the same tiome the server starts sending bars $|++; # <-- Turns on automatic flusing after each write... while (1) { $line = <SOCK>; print "\nGot1: ", $line; ...

Update: I've been playing with the code myself, and as tye pointed out in a reply below: you need to unbuffer the Client handle at server-side! This would make your server code look like this:

... $SIG{CHLD} = \&REAPER; for ( ; $paddr = accept(Client,Server); close Client) { # This will correctly set the autoflushing... select( ( select(Client), $|++ )[0] ); my($port,$iaddr) = sockaddr_in($paddr); my $name = gethostbyaddr($iaddr,AF_INET); ...
Success,

    $|++; # <-- Turns on automatic flusing after each write... No! That turns on automatic flushing after each write to STDOUT. Do one of the following:

    select( ( select(SOCK), $|++ )[0] ); # or use IO::Handle; SOCK->autoflush(1);
    Though I'm surprised that sockets don't default to being unbuffered.

            - tye (but my friends ca)
      Your right, the socket handle has to be unbuffered: however, this has to happen at server side and not client side...
      Funny however that the example in the perlipc doesn't mention this...

    Thanks to all of you, but this doen't work.
    I just tried all the suggestions:
    $|++; $|=1; in the Client and in the Server.
    But my Client keeps silence, doen't print anything as long the server is running.
    By the way all what has been sent is lost. I think if it were the buffer,
    it should print the buffer as soon as the first line: "Got1: NIX," appears.
    What happened to that what was written meanwhile to the buffer?
