Your terminology is just a bit off though. The select() is listening for connection requests on the port; there is no connection.
Isn't that what

I'd try to avoid a race condition like waiting for a socket to become ready for writing while writing to it.

io::select
IO::Select(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide IO::Select(3pm)
NAME
IO::Select - OO interface to the select system call
SYNOPSIS
use IO::Select;
$s = IO::Select->new();
$s->add(*STDIN);
$s->add($some_handle);
@ready = $s->can_read($timeout);
@ready = IO::Select->new(@handles)->can_read(0);
DESCRIPTION
The "IO::Select" package implements an object approach to the system "select" function call. It allows the user to see what IO handles, see
IO::Handle, are ready for reading, writing or have an exception pending.
CONSTRUCTOR
new ( [ HANDLES ] )
The constructor creates a new object and optionally initialises it with a set of handles.
METHODS
add ( HANDLES )
Add the list of handles to the "IO::Select" object. It is these values that will be returned when an event occurs. "IO::Select" keeps
these values in a cache which is indexed by the "fileno" of the handle, so if more than one handle with the same "fileno" is specified
then only the last one is cached.
Each handle can be an "IO::Handle" object, an integer or an array reference where the first element is an "IO::Handle" or an integer.
remove ( HANDLES )
Remove all the given handles from the object. This method also works by the "fileno" of the handles. So the exact handles that were
added need not be passed, just handles that have an equivalent "fileno"
exists ( HANDLE )
Returns a true value (actually the handle itself) if it is present. Returns undef otherwise.
handles
Return an array of all registered handles.
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,
in seconds, possibly fractional. If "TIMEOUT" is not given and any handles are registered then the call will block.
can_write ( [ TIMEOUT ] )
Same as "can_read" except check for handles that can be written to.
has_exception ( [ TIMEOUT ] )
Same as "can_read" except check for handles that have an exception condition, for example pending out-of-band data.
count ()
Returns the number of handles that the object will check for when one of the "can_" methods is called or the object is passed to the
"select" static method.
bits()
Return the bit string suitable as argument to the core select() call.
select ( READ, WRITE, EXCEPTION [, TIMEOUT ] )
"select" is a static method, that is you call it with the package name like "new". "READ", "WRITE" and "EXCEPTION" are either "undef"
or "IO::Select" objects. "TIMEOUT" is optional and has the same effect as for the core select call.
The result will be an array of 3 elements, each a reference to an array which will hold the handles that are ready for reading, writing
and have exceptions respectively. Upon error an empty list is returned.
EXAMPLE
Here is a short example which shows how "IO::Select" could be used to write a server which communicates with several sockets while also
listening for more connections on a listen socket
use IO::Select;
use IO::Socket;
$lsn = new IO::Socket::INET(Listen => 1, LocalPort => 8080);
$sel = new IO::Select( $lsn );
while(@ready = $sel->can_read) {
foreach $fh (@ready) {
if($fh == $lsn) {
# Create a new socket
$new = $lsn->accept;
$sel->add($new);
}
else {
# Process socket
# Maybe we have finished with the socket
$sel->remove($fh);
$fh->close;
}
}
}
