Well, since you were all so helpful with my last request (thanks, folks!)
I've come back for more...

I have a program which binds two sockets, which we can call FOO and BAR.  I
want to read from *both* of them asynchronously as the information comes
in.  I'm used to using while(<FOO>) to get information from one, but how do
I read from whichever one has data?

Note:  I need to keep track of which socket the data comes in on, so I
don't think while(<FOO> || <BAR>) would work...
