it is obvious that, in the general case, managing multiple streams on multiple filehandles using existing technologies is a *hard* problem. it does, however (and thanks for the hint barrie) seem possible to solve the problem for special cases--those you can control. On 9/22/06, Barrie Slaymaker <

recently, perl 6 development has taken the form of a multi-method dispatch. that is, multiple implementations are under active development. this includes pugs (in haskell,) v6 (in perl5,) v6-Compiler (in perl6,) and perl6 (on parrot.) hopefully, each of these returns the same result, a working[1]
