Hi, i'm writing a gui tool, I need to open a non blocking pipe in read mode, to avoid the block of the gui when the stream become slow.. Is it possible to open a non blocking pipe in read mode whitout using threads or fork()? I like simple things, i only need something return me undef is there is no input, IIUC, it's the read operation, not the open, that is nonblocking.
