and some really ugly code for BrowserUKs select suggestion...
# $data is my filehandle to read from
my ($rin,$rout,$win,$wout,$ein,$eout); # for select
$rin=$rout=$win=$wout=$ein=$eout= '';
vec($rin, fileno($data), 1) = 1;
$ein = $rin;
my $last = time;
my $heartbeat_interval = 60;
my $timeout = 1; # for select
while (! $done) {
$rout=$wout=$eout= '';
my ($nfound, $timeleft) = select($rout=$rin, $wout=$win, $eout
+=$ein, $timeout);
if ($nfound and $rout & $rin) {
# read from <$data> carefully not to block
# count statistics
}
my $now = time;
if (($now - $last) >= $heartbeat_interval) {
$last = $now;
# do something every heartbeat_interval seconds
}
}

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).
