Sockets are sockets. The bigger problem is on Win32 where you don't have
signals and such. It forces you into a single method of implementation.
Read the IO::Socket and IO::Select pods and go for it.

I started one (TCP that could easily be modified for UDP), but haven't had
time to finish it. Basically you need to use IO::Select and when you 'can_read'
a socket, you do until you get less bytes back than you asked for. Then you
go back to 'can_read' before reading again. It's not really that difficult.
In the case of TCP, you would also be checking for circuits to accept.
