在利用epoll编写网络应用程序,特别是服务器的时候。为了得到最优的效果,一般采用边缘触发(epoll ET)的方式。由于边缘触发,epoll_wait只有在套接字状态发生变化的时候才会返回。所以要对套接字(socket)进行循环accept,read,write;直到套接字的缓冲区空(read,accept)或者填满(write)为止。当read返回的字节数小于要读的字节数,或者返回EAGAIN的时候,认为缓存区为空了。由于网络上已经有很多epollet如何处理epollin事件的例子,所以下面是本人只提供测试如何处理epollout事件的代码。

下面是测试的perl代码(epoll_test.pl)
#!/usr/bin/perl

use IO::Socket;
my $host = "127.0.0.1";
my $port = 18001;
my $socket = IO::Socket::INET->new("$host:$port") or die "create socket error $@";
my $msg_out = "1234567890";
print $socket $msg_out;
print "now send over, go to sleep\n";
sleep(10);
my $msg_in;
while (1){
        read $socket, $msg_in, 10240;

        print "receiv msg $msg_in\n";
}
print "5 second gonesend another line\n";
#print $socket $msg_out;

while (1)
{
        sleep(1);
}
