RE: [MacPerl] how to avoid fork() for a Mac based server

[Tim Endres <time@ice.com>]

I wrote a Syslog daemon for the Macintosh. It is complete
and native. Here's the location:

Morning!

Has anybody got an example of how to circumvent the use of fork()
when implementing a server?

Im my case I have the need to rewrite parts of the syslogd daemon
on the Mac. There are plenty of examples around but all of them
use fork() to be able to accept new connections. (it is a UDP
based server)

In the mailing list archive I found a note from Matthias statiting
that one could use select() to achieve a similar functionality.

Some code pieces is all I need (probably :))
