[JDEV] Net::Jabber vs. Jabber::Connection?

[Ryan Eatmon]

DJ,

Uh.... I think you're wrong on that...

Here's an excerpt from the IO::Select can_read() documentation:

http://www.perl.com/doc/manual/html/lib/IO/Select.html

can_read ( [ TIMEOUT ] )

Return an array of handles that are ready for reading. TIMEOUT is the 
maximum amount of time to wait before returning an empty list. If 
TIMEOUT is not given and any handles are registered then the call will 
block.
