Subject: Can I do this perl code the same in ruby?

Well I'm trying to "translate" a perl program to ruby and everything worked fine until the near end where I'm now. There we have this perl code:

 my $slct = IO::Select->new($server);
    while($slct->can_read()) {
        my $nbytes = read $server, $response, 2**16;
        last if !$nbytes;   
        $client->send($response);
    }

$server is a socket-handle exactly as $client. But now I'm stuck. Is there any equivalent to perls can_read ? Than this line here:
        my $nbytes = read $server, $response, 2**16;
        last if !$nbytes;   

Means something like read from server 2^16 bytes save to nbytes and append to response or?
