Yes. Reading the code they are passing the listen socket as both arguments
to accept. So thier code is essentially


#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use Socket;
use Fcntl;

my $rin = '';	# Read set

# Temporary variables
my $sock;
my $fileno;
my($rout, $eout);

# Create the listening socket
my $proto = getprotobyname('tcp');
socket($sock, PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, $proto);
setsockopt($sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1);
my $paddr = sockaddr_in(2999, INADDR_ANY);
bind($sock, $paddr);
listen($sock, SOMAXCONN);

# Prepare the event loop
$fileno = fileno($sock);		# Store sock's fileno for vec()
vec($rin, $fileno, 1) = 1;		# Add listening sock to read set

($rout, $eout) = $rin;
select($rout, undef, $eout, undef);
accept($sock, $sock);
