Package: perl-5.005
Version: 5.005-03-4.1
Severity: wishlist
Wouldn't it be more perlish if the select function (matching the
select(2) system call) were to return undef instead of -1 if there is
some sort of error?

I suppose it would, but there's no chance this will ever be changed due
to the amount of code it would break. Please use IO::Select if you want
a perlier interface - IO::Select->select returns an empty list on error.
I don't see any point in keeping this bug open for another eight years,
so closing.
Cheers,
