Is POSIX pselect available in Perl?

Is POSIX pselect available in Perl? A CPAN module is fine also.

+1  A: 

As far as I can tell, neither the POSIX module nor any other provides support for the pselect() function.

@Jonathan: Any idea why it's not provided?

@Robert: Two guesses - maybe a combination. (1) It is too new - it is a relatively recent addition to POSIX, and may not be available everywhere. (2) The signal masking semantics in pselect() don't fit particularly easily into the Perl framework.
