Hi all,
Just want to share and ask something about reading from the sockets.
Normally my connection to the Other Side receives line inputs. But not
all the time the eol character is standard across the various remote
connections; sometimes it's just a 0x0D.
I realise that <$socket> does not always work, even with $/=char(13).
The safest way so far seems to be 'doing it yourself' with a loop
repeating getchar() calls until you hit the expected EOL character. It
works, but I suspect the high hit rate on the function call is not optimal.
If anyone has a better idea (or my $/=char(13) is just plain wrong),
please reply. Thanks.
