Re: async, non blocking tcp server

[Chris Knipe]

And this is effectively what I WANT to happen...

      [C] Path: pathost!demo!somewhere!not-for-mail
      [C] From: "Demo User" <nob...@example.com>

      [C] This is just a test article.
      [C] .
# . indicates the end of the article.  Perl now starts to do work,
processing the article it received. As this process takes time, the
main while (1) { loop reading from the socket is now blocked, causing
the server not to read any more from the socket until after the
article has been dealt with.

I am now presuming that we've read both articles completely (all
lines) from the socket.
