NAME
    IO::Select::SSL - IO::Socket::SSL compatible IO::Select

SYNOPSIS
      use IO::Select::SSL;
      my $sel = new IO::Select::SSL;

DESCRIPTION
    This module is intended to be a drop-in replacement for IO::Select.
    However, the can_read method actually handles the very special
    IO::Socket::SSL handles correctly by returning those handles that still
    have at least some decrypted characters in the buffer. Without this
    module, can_read will choke forever (or until timeout) waiting for the
    socket to be ready to read even when there is still something just
    sitting in the buffer ready to be immediately read. Actually, this
    module will also correctly behave for any objects with any tied Handle
    objects that implement the "pending" method to return true if something
    is already in the buffer ready to read. And if the objects used are real
    IO::Handle objects or real Perl blob file handles, then of course this
    module will still work because it will fall back to behave exactly like
    the normal IO::Select does.

METHODS
    All IO::Select methods will also be valid here since IO::Select::SSL isa
    IO::Select. Plus the following methods have been overloaded:

  can_read ( [ $timeout ] )
    Same as IO::Select except immediately returns handles with pending INPUT
    data.

  select ( READ, WRITE, ERROR [, TIMEOUT ] )
    Same as IO::Select except immediately returns handles with pending INPUT
    data.

  pending_handles
    Returns a list of readable handles with pending INPUT data.

INSTALLATION
      perl Makefile.PL
      make
      make test
      make install

DEPENDENCIES
      Requires IO::Select to be installed.
