Need Help??

in reply to Socket connection with Perl (server side) and HTML web page.

Dated but workable, Chapter 4 of Web Client Programming with Perl (freely available as part of the O'Reilly Open Books Project) has exactly an example of writing a Perl web client using sockets.

The perlipc documentation has example network clients and servers, and the examples in IO::Socket are quite good as well (if you want to go core but a step up from direct sockets).

Hope that helps.
