Hello!
This is a small problem in a test script, so bug is a too big a word. :-)
The 'samplechat.pl' resets timeouts by using:
$mux->set_timeout($fh, 40);
It seems that you need to cancel a previous timeout before setting a new:
$mux->set_timeout($fh, undef);
You notice this when samplechat.pl has upgraded you to "senior". Then
it doesn't matter if you write anything -- you are thrown out anyway
after 40 seconds. Canceling the timeout before setting it in
&mux_input solves the problem.
This might come from IO::Multiplex and not in the example script?
(Doesn't look like it from the IO:M docs and there seems to be no
Change for this.)
Also, I must say Net::Server and IO::Multiplex looks really nice! This
was one of the times when you get a tear in the eye from just reading
the API and thinking of how to use it. Elegant.
(I use the Ubuntu default install. I checked and it was the same in
the latest version of samplechat.pl on cpan.)
Thank you,
