Having upgraded my trivial port checking code works fine. Thanks :)

However, the connection object is a little too high level ... are there 
plans for implementing a lower level 'socket' like interface, rather than 
a blocking line or character reader?  The mod_perl module has this sort of 
interface for example (AFAICT)

For example, I need to be able to consume all of the data currently 
waiting into one chunk to process ... which may or may not end in a 
linebreak character, can be of arbitrary length and the connection 
doesn't close after sending.  So I can't use either read() or readline(), 
with or without arguments :/

In particular, I'm looking at the possibility of handling Z39.50 
connections, which has messages sent in a binary encoded form to be 
decoded using rules in ASN1 and BER.

Cheers,

Rob
