Sorry if this appears twice. Since it bounced back to me -- probably because of the HTML format -- I'm sending it again.
I did some google searching and I could not find an example of a bidirectional asynchronous socket client. A telnet client is an example of a bidirectional asynchronous socket client. I don't specifically want source to a telnet client -- that would be much fancier than what I require and would not be helpful if the perl only called C++. I just want an example in pure perl (or ruby or python). By asynchronous I mean that reads and writes can occur at any time in any order with no warning. Asynchronous could also mean that we don't block while the write is in progress. Blocking while the write is in progress is fine. I hope it is possible to write such a beast in perl. Let's suppose I spawn two threads, one to block on a read socket and the other to block on the keyboard with $inp=<STDIN> (so it can print to the write socket when it receives input form the keyboard). Can the first thread print to the console if the second thread is blocking on $inp=<STDIN>? Surely, someone has posted source to such a beast somewhere on the internet!
