Gents, appended is a patch against the core IO::Select v1.17 allowing it to remove IO::Handle objects (and objects derived from it) from an IO::Select set even if the underlying file descriptor is closed or invalid (current behavior is to silently keep the invalid file handle in the set, making subsequent select()s on that set fail with EBADF). The patch was approved by Graham Barr, maintainer of IO::Select in CPAN (see below). Please consider for inclusion in the core IO::Select.
