how to tell when socket breaks?

[redss]

Hi Monks,

My perl script accepts a socket connection then waits for a 2nd socket connection

   while ( my $cgiclient = $cgisock->accept() ) {....

I need my script to stop waiting for a 2nd socket connection if the first socket connection breaks. How do I monitor both in the above wait condition?

IO::Select can be used to monitor multiple sockets at once.
