What do you mean "dropped"? What return value or error message are you
getting from what piece of code?
> Is this a limit of the IO::Select?
Not inherently. Maybe it is limit of the underlying structures which
IO::Select must interact with on some OSes. On Unix I have no problem
getting more than 300 socket connections. On Windows I can only get 80.
Can you dummy up some kind of short simple program that replicates
the problem (with a dummy driver to take the other end of the connections)
that you can post here so we can play with it?
