FYI It is called a "Console" on Win32. It doesn't do select(). In fact AFAIK windows only does select() on sockets. But many more things (including Console IIRC) post at Event and the Win32 native API is WaitForEvent() or WaitForMultipleEvents() - latter interface is akin to UNIX's poll(). > >and as i said above, the list of tested platforms for event.pm should >be in the docs. and stuff like that it won't work with windows stdio >(not the fault of event.pm) should also be listed. AFAIK event using PerlIO (perl5.8+) should work iff handles are sockets. One of motivations for PerlIO layers was so that a native :win32 layer could be written so that perl's select() stuff could be faked. Sadly I never finished it. > >thanx, > >uri
