select
$s->select(read,write,error[,timeout])
Static method. Call it with the package name as with
new. read, write, and error are either undef or IO::Select objects. The
optional argument timeout has the same
effect as for the core select
call.
Returns an array of three elements, each a reference to an array or an empty array on error. The arrays hold the handles that are ready for reading, ready for writing, and have error conditions, respectively.
