that is a great solution. i did something very similar to manage a set
of worker thread doing blocking operations. the main thread wrote a
pointer to a pipe and the threads all blocked trying to read it. one
successfully would read it and do work. when done, it would write the
pointer back to the pipe (other direction) and then the select would
handle the main thread side. works beautifully.
we should do something like that for the new event loop/perl6.
