Dear Fellow Perl Developers, I have a Perl problem that is becoming more and more annoying. I try to do the following: I send SNMP messages over a socket and receive the responses over the very same sockets. I do this by sending, using send(), and receiving if select(I use select in order to do this non-blocking) indicates that there is a message waiting to be received using recv(). Now, my problem is, that select does not really indicate whether or not a there is a message waiting. In most cases select really indicates if a message is waiting. But in some cases I can see(by using snoop) that there should be a message, but select still says that there's nothing to be received. If I use sysread, to read from the socket, there is a message waiting there and I can read it. But select still returns 0. This is quite awkward. Is there something I did conceptually wrong? Has anybody an idea how to solve this problem? Is this the right list for that kind of problem?
Any thoughts and suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks Thomas
