Huh? But IO::Select is exactly what you want. And of course it's
blocking, since you don't have anything to do while waiting for a
connection anyways.
What you do is this:
Add both ports to your select queue, then wait for a connection.
As soon as a connection arrives, accept it, fork yourself and loop back
to the select while the forked childprocess does the hard work.
