#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.
