IO::Poll bug?

[Ephraim Dan]

Hi,

IO::Poll::VERSION = 0.06

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but the behavior of poll is not what I'd expect 
in the following situation:

If poll is called with a timeout, but with no handles, it returns immediately, 
and does not wait the specified timeout.  I would think it should wait, just 
like select(undef, undef, undef, $timeout) waits for the timeout.

Is this on purpose for some reason, or is it a bug?

Thanks.


the following code snippet illustrates:

use IO::Poll 0.06;

my $poll = new IO::Poll;
my $timeout = 1;
while (1)
{
        my $res = $poll->poll($timeout);
        # select(undef,undef,undef,$timeout); # this works

        print scalar(localtime), "\n";
}
