my $read = $sock->recv($buf, $len); my $wrote = $sock->send($buf, $len);
the only difference will be that we will croak on error. I know I'm going to break someone's code but better early than later.
But ideally I'd just have this simple API:
my $buf = $sock->recv($len); my $wrote = $sock->send($buf);
since modifying the variable that you pass to the function is going to be very confusing to many users. We code in perl, not C.
In the first call you can check length of $buf, if you need to know how much was read.
In the second call, you don't need to pass the len argument. It's just silly to do, since we know it already, and it doesn't cost us anything to retrieve it from C.
I'm in favor of the latter API.
