This will not help you.  Perl's select() is implemented in terms of  
winsock select() which cannot multiplex STDIN.  Your best (and most  
difficult, I imagine) bet would be to write a POE::Loop class that  
supports multiplexing for non-socket resources.  That would enable a  
lot of things currently impossible in Win32 ActivePerl and its  
derivitives.
Or you can go the cygwin route.  Cygwin implements its own select().   
I believe it's compatible with STDIN and STDOUT.
