New to perl: Network programming question
Hi, I'm new to perl (allthough Im pretty good with php and delphi) and have been making some small programs. I just started a program and allready am stuck. I am trying to make a server/client app. All that th server does is accept connections, and on reading data from a client, sends it to every other one. The client should connect to the server, receive data from it, and send data to it, a very very simple chat application in short. I am having problems with the server, to manage the different connections, I am using the select() function, as described here:
http://www.perlfect.com/articles/select.shtml My code allmost exactly the same as that, and it still deosnt work, for a start I would like it to print the data received from the clien on the screen, what is wrong here (it never prints the data to the screen)?: :
#!/usr/bin/perlI have allready anticipated another problem I will have. As you see, it accepts any new sockets, but what if, I want to send data to all open sockets the server has received? I see no where (array, etc) where the sockets are saved. Any help? |
Hi,
you'll have to use the operations IO::Socket provides for reading and writing. Check the man-page for that. Secondly to get an array of all sockets that are ready to write to call IO::Socket::can_write. This will return an array of all handles that are writable. :
my @writers=$sel->can_write;If it's just for learning do it that way. If not consider using POE. So far ... |
