in reply to In perl socket programming how to send a data from client and receive it from server and how to get number of clients processes and client ID?

how can I get the client ID and client count at server script?

You already have the client count because you are storing a running count of the file descriptors in @clients and therefore the client count is scalar @clients (or $#clients + 1 if you prefer). As for the client ID it depends entirely what you mean by that.

open my $fh, ">&=$fn" or warn $! and die;

Can you explain why you warn $! and die here rather than just die $!?
